The research collaboration centers around key topics from the range of research activities at the partner institutions, while focusing the groups on a common mission through co-development of next- generation open-source software tools for analysis and prediction of Earth’s surface.
The Center will synergise the distinct expertise of world-class institutions across continents, setting unprecedented standards in Earth system modeling, analysis, and scientific education to develop a next generation of scientists. We offer:
Early Career Scientists have the opportunity to collaborate within the research portfolio of the partners
We will focus on in-person training programs for Early Career Scientists
We organize regular in-person and virtual meetings for our members
Our members have the opportunity to benefit from fellowships to be able to fund longer research stays at a partner institution
Our thematic summer or winter schools will be hands-on and include group exercises, such as hackathons
We also implement virtual collaboration tools to make it easier to work together to develop the next- generation open source tools to analyse and predict Earth's surface
A cooperation agreement signed by all partners from the Max-Planck Society, California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Institution of Science and Columbia University regulates their work. The following aspects are covered:
