Seminar Series on Atmospheric Dynamics and Predictability

Group seminars

Our weekly group seminars for the next winter semester will start on 19 October. The seminars will take place in Zoom, on each Tuesday, at 14:15 CET. There will be exceptions to accomodate overseas speakers, see the schedule below. If you are interested in participating in the seminar, please register here.

If you would like to give a talk at our seminar, please send an e-mail to Sergiy Vasylkevych(sergiy.vasylkevych"AT"uni-hamburg.de) directly.
