Climate Modeling

Though we may not have a crystal ball, we can see the future. Across Germany, scientists and entrepreneurs are using climate models and simulations to predict the longterm human impacts on our earth. 

In our May newsletter, we check out a startup that can quantify your climate impact in exact degrees Celsius and feature research projects modeling the future of the atmosphere and vegetation.  In an interview we chat with Dr. Daniela Jacob, Director of the Climate Service Center Germany, about how climate models work, how accurate they are and what urgent messages they have for us. In a special section we look into Germany's innovative approaches to SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing.
