🎓 Behind the scenes of the @maxplanckgesellschaft's top-notch doctoral education
#IMPRS_ESM coordinator Florian Mundt is in Berlin meeting with colleagues from other IMPRS programs. These annual meetings focus on recruitment strategies, supporting early-career researchers, & advancing research management. While getting ready for a group photo, he couldn't pass up the opportunity for a quick selfie with his colleagues.🤳A strong community dedicated to the next generation of excellent scientists!🤝
🎓 Congratulations to Constanze Reinken on successfully defending her #PhD! 👏
In her thesis, “A Stochastic Approach to Modelling Thermokarst Lake Dynamics,” Constanze investigated the behavior of #permafrost lakes. She developed a stochastic model based on the karst-like expansion, merging, & drainage of lakes, identifying multiple regimes that correspond to different geographical settings.
We’re proud of your achievement and wish you all the best for your next steps! ✨
👏🎓 Congratulations to Zoi Kourkouraidou, who just defended her #PhD thesis “Uncovering the effects of Agulhas eddies on low and high internal tide modes and their energetics in high‑resolution ICON.” 🌊🌀
Her work reveals how eddies generated by the Agulhas current scatter low‑mode internal tides into higher modes, driving energy dissipation & mixing—insights gained using the #ICON‑O model at 5km resolution.
Well done, Zoi! 💃 Wishing you great success in the next chapter!
