Palaeoclimate and Climate Dynamics - Publications and Resources

Online Resources

INTEGRATE is an open-access, open-source teaching package covers the topics of physical climatology, empirical methods and a hands-on approach of collecting and analysing atmospheric data. It was forked from the University of Tübingen module "Climate Dynamics, Probability and Statistics" by S.G. Mutz. Its further development was supported by the EGU Higher Education Teaching Grant 2020.
