IBS Center for Climate Physics(ICCP) have collaborated with Green Environment Youth Korea(GEYK) to hold Hands on Training workshop.
The training was given from four ICCP scientists including director Timmermann to around 30 youth climate activists in Korea.

The workshop was to train activists to feel more comfortable with the climate data and climate modeling. The workshop was done successful and we hope the there will be 2nd workshop during the next year.

IBS 기후물리 연구단과 기후변화청년단체가 함께 트레이닝 워크샵을 11월26일 토요일에 개최했습니다. 연구단장님을 포함한 4명의 연구원분들이 청년 기후 활동가분들에게 기후 자료와 모델링을 할 수 있는 툴에 대해 가르쳐주는 시간을 가졌습니다. 워크샵은 성황리에 마쳤으며 내년에 두번째 워크샵이 개최되길 기대합니다 :)

올해 독일의 클라우스 하셀만 교수가 기후변화 관련 연구에 대한 기여로 노벨물리학상을 수상한 기념으로 독일대사관은 2021년 12월 15일 "해양 산성화"를 주제로 한 강연을 개최합니다. 연설자는 하셀만 교수 아래에서 박사 학위를 받은 IBS기후물리 연구단 단장 악셀 팀머만 교수입니다. 해양 산성화는 기후변화의 한 이면이지만 아직 많은 분들께 생소한 내용이라 강연의 주제로 선정하게 되었습니다.
아직 자리가 조금 남았으니 참석을 원하시는 분들께서는 이메일 보내주시기 바랍니다([email protected]). 참석은 예방 접종을 완료하고 대사관의 확인 메일을 받은 분들에 한해서만 가능하오니 양해 부탁드립니다.

On Dec. 15th Wed, there will be a public talk on Ocean Acidification in Grand Hyatt Seoul at 18:30pm.

The director from IBS Center for Climate Physics, Axel Timmermann, will give a talk. Axel is a former Ph.D. student of Dr. Klaus Hasselmann, who recently have got a Nobel Prize in Physics.
If you would like to attend, please feel free to register by German Embassy email ([email protected]).

Please understand that fully vaccinated people with German Embassy's confirmation email can attend.
