Teaching

The professors and senior scientists of the department of marine geodynamics teach at Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel. Their lectures are part of the undergraduate course Physics of the Earth System and the graduate courses Master of Geophysics and Master of Marine Geosciences. More information is available at https://www.ifg.uni-kiel.de/en/studies. We offer MSc and BSc thesis supervision. Please get in touch if you would like to learn more about possible thesis projects. Either check with the most appropriate researcher or with Heidrun Kopp (hkopp(at)geomar.de) or Christian Berndt (cberndt(at)geomar.de).

Prerequisits for Admission to the Examination:
Work on written exercises, demonstration of exercise solution in tutorials. Compulsory attendance of practical exercise.

Graded oral examination

Inhalt
Course Content:
Diabatic heating (e.g. latent heat release and cloud formation, radiative forcing), zonally averaged circulation, Lorenz energy cycle, longitudinally dependent time-averaged flow (stationary Rossby waves, jetstreams and storm tracks), low-frequency variability (Climate Regimes, Annular Modes, SST Anomalies), anthropogenic climate change

Learning Outcomes:
Students obtain advanced knowledge in stratospheric and tropospheric physics and dynamics and the effects of climate change. They are able to apply mathematical methods to solve physical problems in atmospheric physics and dynamics in practical exercises. Furthermore they present and critically discuss recent scientific literature to deepen the understanding of climate variability and climate change
