"The IMPRS on Earth System Modelling (IMPRS-ESM) is a multi- and interdisciplinary doctoral program that associates several German research institutions. Students contribute to the development and application of numerical models of different complexities, including natural aspects as well as the human dimension. Through the development of integrated earth system models the IMPRS-ESM contributes to an improved understanding of the global environment and the prediction of interactions and feedbacks in between the individual components of the Earth system. An interdisciplinary and international group of scientists and doctoral students participates in the Research School, addressing vital research questions on global environmental change."
