Course Overview
The analysis and simulation of related phenomena, such as feedbacks in the soil-vegetation-atmosphere system and their impacts on the regional climate, allow for the creation of models, which provide useful insights into Earth system functions. Coupling climate models with agricultural and economic models provides a broader view of the Earth system and aids in creating concepts of sustainable development for all aspects of human life on Earth. The Masters program in Earth System Science is linked to research conducted at various institutes of the University of Hohenheim. For instance, the Institute of Physics and Meteorology focuses on processes and simulations of the land system (extreme weather, climate projections). The program also draws from research conducted at the Institute of Chemistry, the Biology institutes, and many institutes of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, such as the Institute of Soil Science and Land Evaluation. We are focusing on feedback processes in the land atmosphere system. Advanced understanding of processes related to soil and vegetation properties and their interaction with the atmosphere is crucial for the accuracy of all weather and climate models. Additionally, close attention is paid to the human influence on these compartments of the Earth system.
