Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” (CLICCS) Researchers from a wide range of disciplines have joined forces at the Cluster of Excellence CLICCS to investigate how climate and society will co-evolve. The program is guided by the overarching question: "Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible?" CLICCS is coordinated through Universität Hamburg’s Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN) in close collaboration with multiple partner institutions and is funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).

Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen (MARUM) MARUM produces fundamental scientific knowledge about the role of the ocean and the ocean floor in the earth system. The dynamics of the ocean and the ocean floor significantly impact the entire earth system through the interaction of geological, physical, biological and chemical processes. These influence both the climate and the global carbon cycle, and create unique biological systems. MARUM is committed to fundamental and unbiased research in the interests of society and the marine environment, and in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

The Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR) GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel is a worldwide leading institute of marine research. We discover and understand the ocean from the seafloor to the atmosphere. At GEOMAR, we engage in ocean research internationally, promote talents, innovation, diversity and creativity. We enable the development of sustainable solutions for the protection and benefit of the ocean in dialogue between science, politics and society. Our research is conducted worldwide in all oceans and adjacent seas using state-of-the art equipment such as deep-sea robots as well as high-end analytical laboratories and access to high-performance computing facilities.

The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) The GFZ is Germany’s national research centre for the solid Earth Sciences. Our mission is to deepen the knowledge of the dynamics of the solid Earth, and to develop solutions for grand challenges facing society. As one out of four departments, Geochemistry plays a prominent role at GFZ. The Department of Geochemistry investigates geochemical and microbial processes in the earth system. The goal is to identify and quantify the interaction between inorganic, organic and biogeochemical material cycles over geological time scales and from depth to the surface. A focus is placed on generation, transport and transformation processes of matter as well as the formation of geo-resources. The chemical and microbiological processes and the properties of the involved geomaterials, addressed by our research, are highly complex in their heterogeneity and depend on many physical and chemical factors. As part of our research, we look at mineral and hydrocarbon resources in the context of geodynamic and paleoclimatic processes, as well as the interactions between the geo-, hydro-, atmo- and biosphere. Our analytical infrastructure includes e.g. SIMS, TEM, FT-ICR-MS and the HELGES Laboratory.

The Bavarian Research Institute of Experimental Geochemistry and Geophysics (BGI) The Bavarian Research Institute of Experimental Geochemistry and Geophysics (Bayerisches Geoinstitut, BGI) was established in 1986 to study the state of the solid earth and the nature of earth and planetary interiors. The Geoinstitut contains laboratories for performing Earth Science related experiments and has a wide range of complimentary analytical facilities. It is a world-leading institute in high-pressure experimentation and possesses equipment that can simulate conditions ranging from the Earth’s crust to the core. The institute runs a Master’s program in Experimental Geosciences, and frequently has PhD and post doc opportunities advertised on its website.

Collaborative Research Centre “Earth - Evolution at the Dry Limit” The CRC 1211 ‘Earth – Evolution at the dry limit’ is a research consortium of 12 Earth and life-science, chemistry and physics institutes at five German universities (University of Cologne (lead); University Bonn, RWTH Aachen University; University Heidelberg and University of Frankfurt) and the GFZ- Potsdam. The research focusses on the co-evolution of the Earth’s surface processes and biological evolution, in extremely water limited environments. The research is conducted in the Atacama and Namib deserts, in close collaboration with local partner institutions. Related Links: https://sfb1211.uni-koeln.de/ Contact: Prof. Dr. Tibor J.

Transregio “Late Accretion onto Terrestrial Planets” The major theme of the Transregio is to understand the late growth history of the terrestrial planets, from the last giant collisions with moon- to mars-sized planetary embryos to the subsequent late bombardment with smaller objects. This period of planet formation is critically important for understanding the formation of the terrestrial planets and their chemical differentiation, and for constraining the parameters that controlled their subsequent evolution. This Transregio project is a multidisciplinary approach that combines geochemistry and petrology, remote sensing and planetary geology, and geodynamic and impact modelling.

The meeting is organisied and hosted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Deutsches GeoFor- schungsZentrum GFZ. Meeting Venue The 67th Annual Meeting of the International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology will be hosted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ in Potsdam, Germany, September 5 -11, 2015. The meeting venue is Building H at the Telegrafenberg in Pots- dam. Prior to the meeting, an ICCP Training Course „Organic Petrology in Industrial Applications“ will be organized. Potsdam The city of Potsdam directly borders the German capital Berlin and is part of the Berlin/Branden- burg Metropolitan Region. Potsdam is the capi- tal of the German Federal State of Brandenburg and has about 160.000 inhabitants. It is situa- ted at the river Havel. Potsdam was a residence of the Prussian kings and the German Kaiser, until 1918. Around the city there are a series of interconnected lakes and cultural landmarks, in particular the parks and palaces of Sanssouci, the largest World He- ritage Site in Germany. The Potsdam Conference, the major Post-World War II conference between the victorious Allies, was held at another palace in the area, the Ce- cilienhof. Babelsberg, in the south-eastern part of Pots- dam, was a major film production studio before the war and has enjoyed success as a major cen- ter of European film production since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

We present results of numerical modeling and July paleo temperatures based on identified land snail assemblages from loess sequences. Those two approaches are, moreover, compared with more widely used proxy data for loess sections, such as environmental magnetism, grain size, and geochemical indices. The results show that the July malacopaleothermometer provides relatively high July temperatures comparable to present day conditions, indicating consistently higher summer air temperatures than reconstructions based on numerical modeling experiments for the LGM in the Southeastern Carpathian Basin. Numerical modeling experiments related to six different models used in this study show 6.2 °C to 2.5 °C colder July air temperatures than recently measured equivalent temperatures.

    text TANGR2015 Heidelberg Second international workshop on Tracer Applications of Noble Gas Radionuclides in the Geosciences Heidelberg University, March 26 - 29, 2015 Kirchhoff-Institute Institute for Physics of Environmental Physics 1 Preface TANGR2015 is a workshop on the progress in the technique and application of Atom Trap Trace Analyis (ATTA). It is a follow-up to the rst TANGR workshop, TANGR2012, which was held at the Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, USA, in June 2012. It is organized in response to recent technical advances and new applications of Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA), an analytical method for measuring the isotopes 81Kr, 85Kr, and 39Ar. The primary aim of the workshop is to discuss the technical progress of ATTA and thereby enable innovative and timely applications of the noble gas radionuclides to important scientic problems in earth and environmental sciences, e.g. in the elds of groundwater hydrology, glaciology, oceanography, and paleoclimatology.
