PhD – Integrated Research Training Group "Arctic Amplifications" (AC)³ at Leipzig University

Leipzig University, Germany

Programme overview

The (AC)3 project investigates Arctic amplification, the Arctic warming that exceeds mid-latitude near-surface warming by about 2 K. Phase II aims to identify, investigate and evaluate key processes contributing to Arctic amplification and quantify their relative importance, using campaign observations, long-term ground-based, ship, airborne and satellite measurements, and ICON modelling.

Department: Integrated Research Training Group of the Transregio (AC)3 Arctic Amplification, Leipzig University and partner institutes  |  Study mode: structured doctoral programme  |  Location: Leipzig, Sachsen, Germany

What you will study

Research addresses three strategic questions: the main causes of Arctic amplification, how meridional transports affect Arctic and mid-latitude weather and climate, and which trends will evolve in a warmer climate. Four crosscutting activities combine observations with regional process and global climate modelling.
