Amazon rainforest more resilient than assumed

An image of the Amazon rainforest, the bottom is completely covered with green tree tops, above are dense clouds. One cloud emerges from the green canopy.

New evidence suggests that mean annual precipitation in the Amazon region is not going to change significantly even if it were completely deforested. This is contrary to previous concerns that beyond a certain threshold, the Amazon would turn into a savannah. However, the researchers who conducted the study point out that a full picture of the consequences of deforestation requires more than one indicator.

Transparent processing of research data facilitates scientific work and serves scientific goals in the long term. Using data collected during a ship-based campaign in the Atlantic, researchers propose a standardized approach.

MPI-M to be one of the first users of Europe's fastest supercomputer JUPITER

A supercomputer at Forschungszentrum Jülich, blue lighting enhances the spectacular appearance of the computer.

One of the first applications on the new exascale computer JUPITER at Forschungszentrum Jülich will be high-resolution simulations of the climate system. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, the German Climate Computing Center and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre successfully demonstrated in a technical and scientific competition that the Earth system model ICON can use the infrastructure efficiently.

The precarious future of permafrost

On a steep slope on a coast, the ice is clearly visible in deep layers of soil.

The Arctic is heating up particularly fast as a result of global warming – with serious consequences. The widespread permafrost in this region, where soils currently store twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, is thawing. Scientists are using increasingly detailed climate models to investigate what this means for the global climate and which striking feedbacks need to be taken into account.
