The Max-Planck-Center MC³ 4 Earth is poised to be a beacon of innovation
The Earth’s land surfaces is an area vital for the future of humanity and we want to improve our understanding. It is historically challenged by limited data and models, this field is now ripe for a transformative leap, thanks to breakthroughs in observational technologies, computational power, and most notably, Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Max Planck Caltech Carnegie Columbia Center (MC3 4 Earth)
MC3 4 Earth Center aims to transform Earth system analysis and predictions, integrating advanced Earth observations and machine learning for deeper understanding and sustainable management of our planet.
World-Class Expertise in Earth System Science
MC3 4 Earth Center builds on unique and complementary scientific knowledge of the involved research institutions and associated scientists, bringing together world-class expertise in Earth system science, data science, and machine learning research, with a common passion to understand the spheres of the Earth as complex and interacting systems.
Training and Exchange
The Center fosters the exchange between the participating institutions including interdisciplinary PhD and PostDoc projects, summer schools with hackathons in different partner locations, fellowship programs for visits and exchanges between partners, as well as digital communication channels and code sharing.
The MC³ 4 Earth Center is a collaboration of the Max-Planck Institute of Biogeochemistry, Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry, California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Institution for Science (Department of Global Ecology) and Columbia University. It's coordination and Max-Planck research is funded by the Max Planck Förderstiftung.
