About the Center for Climate Physics: (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ibsclimate.org/">https://ibsclimate.org/</a>)<br>
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) (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ibs.re.kr">http://ibs.re.kr</a>). 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.<br>

About the Department of the Climate System:
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://climatesystem.pusan.ac.kr">http://climatesystem.pusan.ac.kr</a>)<br>
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. <br>
