A mathematician in the fight against extremes, and for the Weimar Republic - an exhibition on the Munich statistician and pacifist Emil J. Gumbel opens on 26 April 2019. It's worth a visit.
Current Information on Research
TiPES: When does the climate tip?
1.5 or 2 degrees - how much global warming is too much? Clarifying this and defining tipping points is the aim of the project Tipping Points in the Earth System (TiPES). Prof. Christian Kühn is on board of the interdisciplinary research team.
