*About the Center for Climate Physics:* (https://ibsclimate.org/)
The IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP), directed by Prof. Axel 
Timmermann, is dedicated to
advancing the understanding of natural climate variability, man-made 
climate change and their
impacts on the hydrological cycle, regional processes, ice-sheets, and 
sea level. The ICCP is
generously funded through the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) 
(http://ibs.re.kr). ICCP is located
in Busan, the second largest city in South Korea and the ninth largest 
port city in the world.
Surrounded by the ocean and mountains, the city has a dramatic natural 
background. From
designer cafes, international movie and art festivals, award-winning 
restaurants to temples
at the end of hiking trails, Busan has something to offer for everyone.

*About the Department of the Climate System:* 
(http://climatesystem.pusan.ac.kr)
The Department of the Climate System was established to educate the next 
generation of
scientists in integrated climate system science. The department combines 
physical climate
science with socio-economic aspects, with a particular emphasis on urban 
areas. Students
have the opportunity to learn about the underlying dynamics, 
interactions and predictability
of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere and its 
interactions with society
by using multi-disciplinary approaches. Students have the opportunity to 
take classes in a
wide variety of topics such as atmospheric sciences, oceanography, 
geology, computer science,
physics, chemistry, biology, statistics, urban engineering, humanities 
and social sciences
including policy making.


Best regards,

Christian
