Block Seminar:
Remote Sensing activities at AWI, IUP and IFM

Monday, 9 July, 2012, 10:00-16:00 CEST at IfM/CEN, Hamburg

Note: Change of venue

The seminar will take place in the KlimaCampus Building, Grindelberg 5, not ZMAW building - see below

This time, the block seminar will be a joint effort not of two, but three institutions: In addition to IUP and AWI, the Remote Sensing and Assimilation Group, led by Detlef Stammer, of the Institute of Oceanography (IfM), University of Hamburg, will join in. Therefore, this block seminar will take place in Hamburg, at the IfM.

The idea of this joint seminar is to get to know each other's research interests and topics better, in view of possible future collaborations. The title of the block seminar is Remote Sensing activities at AWI, IUP and IFM, as remote sensing is the greatest common denominator of the three involved institutions.

Location

The Block Seminar will take place in room 008 in the KlimaCampus Building building, about 400 m from the ZMAW building, on the main street where the buses run.

The street address is: Grindelberg 5, 20146 Hamburg.

It is about 20 min on foot or 5 min by bus from the railway station Hamburg Dammtor (see map, building A)
