It’s April again, the month when Europe’s largest geoscience union, EGU, convenes for its General Assembly in Vienna, Austria. This year, EGU-24 is scheduled to take place from 14 – 19 April 2024, and we are thrilled to be there and share our science. Our group will be contributing to several presentations, including those by Tejasvi, Sarosh, Axel, Pinhsin and Yinglin.

Touring India 2024 – Stop 4: Short course and workshop on thermodynamics and optimality of Earth systems at the Islamic University of Science and Technology near Srinagar, Kashmir

~ Axel Kleidon ~ Leave a comment

Our last stop is Kashmir, where we hold a weeklong workshop on thermodynamics and optimality in climate, water cycle, ecosystems, renewable energy and sustainability. We have intense and stimulating interactions, hands-on sessions organized by Sarosh and Tejasvi, and an excursion into the mountains.

Touring India 2024 – Stop 3: Workshop and inspiring discussions on sustainable cities, thermodynamics and fractals at IIT Kanpur

~ Axel Kleidon ~ Leave a comment

Our next stop is at the IIT Kanpur, 400 km east of Delhi at the banks of the Ganges river. Time passes quickly. We spend time preparing lectures, meeting Saurabh – our future new PhD student – and participated in a workshop on sustainable cities. There, we had enlightening discussions on fractals, power laws, and how these relate to thermodynamics and can be applied to cities.

Touring India 2024 to talk about thermodynamics, climate, renewable energy and sustainability at various places. Stop 1: Delhi

~ Axel Kleidon ~ Leave a comment

We are back in India again, travelling to Delhi, Aligarh, Kanpur and Kashmir. We will meet good friends and colleagues, interact with students, to talk thermodynamics and Earth system science in seminars, at nice places worth seeing, and in a week-long short course in Kashmir. And we’ll enjoy the company and the good food.
