9th Earth System Modeling School EaSyMS15 Contact via email, please: [email protected] EaSyMS15 Hamburg, Germany, Sep 7 - 11, 2015 The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) announces the 9th Earth System Modeling School (EaSyMS). EaSyMS15 will take place at the Geomatikum building on the KlimaCampus in Hamburg. Specifics will be announced soon on http:// easyms15.enes.org. Scope: In a series of lectures the school introduces to the major Earth system components (atmosphere, ocean, land, carbon cycle) and how they are represented in MPI-ESM (MPI Earth System model). Supervised by experts from MPI, students perform MPIESM simulation experiments on a main frame computer and analyze these experiments in small groups during the week. With this blend of theory and practice the schools aims at an improved understanding of global interactions in the Earth System relevant for understanding climate change. Attendees: The school primarily addresses to IMPRS-ESM PhD candidates though all PhD candidates, early-career scientists (post docs) and professionals working on Earth system modeling topics are welcome to apply. Applicants are expected to be: ✦Highly interested in climate/Earth system research (e.g. a field or scientific question to which configurations of the MPI-ESM apply) ✦Acquainted to high level programming languages like Fortran, C, or C++ (preferably the participant should have some programming experience of model codes) ✦Familiar with LINUX / Unix (basic knowledge of Unix systems, and scripts) ✦Proficient in English as a working language Application & Registration: Please register (IMPRS-ESM PhD candidates) or informally request admission (all others) by sending an email to the IMPRS-ESM office until Friday May 29, 2015. Your E-mail should include a brief statement (max. 0.5 pages) to inform us about your motivation to apply. There are no registration fees. Travel and accommodation expenses are to the participants. Dates: Registration starts Registration ends Final admission until Now May 29, ´15 June 15, ´15 Contact: IMPRS-ESM office: Cornelia Kampmann, [email protected]; Tel.: 040 41173 467 Location: MPI für Meteorologie GEOMATIKUM-Building 15th Floor, Seminar Rooms Bundesstraße 51; D-20146 Hamburg
