Earth System Research Partnership (ESRP)
School-related knowledge and activities
Links to Partnerships
Earth and Solar System Research Partnership
Within the Earth and Solar System Research Partnership (ESRP) of the Max Planck Society the MPI’s for Meteorology in Hamburg, for Chemistry in Mainz, for Solar System Research in Goettingen and for Biogeochemistry in Jena cooperate to investigate the core questions of Earth system research.
Deutsches Klima Konsortium
The Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry is member of the German Climate Consortium (DKK), a network of renowned German climate research institutions with the mandate to inform society, politicians and the media about current results of climate research and to foster dialogue between these representatives. The DKK was founded in 2008 and is based in Berlin.
Climate Service Center: Klimanavigator
Our Institute is a partner of the Klimanavigator of the Climate Service Center Germany (CSC), a facility of the Helmholtz Center Geesthacht based in Hamburg. The task of this web portal is to meet the increasing need of society for information and advice regarding climate related issues.
