Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00–2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On June 26, Prof. Dr. Anja Rammig (Professorship for Land Surface-Atmosphere Interactions) will give a talk entitled “Rainforest at Risk – AmazonFACE Research Project on the Effects of Climate Change on the Rainforest”. The AmazonFACE project will collect data for at least ten years in the Amazon rainforest approximately 70 kilometers north of Manaus in order to answer open questions: what happens if more and more CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere? How much CO2 can the Amazon rainforest store? Is there a limit? An international team is working together with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) to answer this question (TUM press release).
We look forward to seeing you there!
