Annual Meeting of the Partnership Earth System Research

65 scientists from six Max Planck Institutes and the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS Potsdam) took part in the scientific exchange that lasted two and a half days. With a total of 19 lectures, about 20 posters and four working groups, the scientists exchanged information about the latest research results, current focus areas and new projects of their institutions.
The main topics included the influence of solar variability on the Earth system and the jointly used and partly also jointly operated research infrastructures, such as the research aircraft HALO and the observatory towers ATTO and ZOTTO. Consideration was also given to best practice models for new and efficient communication channels with regard to the use and exchange of data. A tour of the MPS topped off the program. The next ESRP meeting will take place in Mainz, Germany, in June 2019.
