Major Weather Research Initiative in the Alps

From 16 June to 25 July, an international team led by meteorologists from the University of Innsbruck is conducting extensive measurements in the Inn and Adige valleys, the Sarntal Alps, and the Bavarian Alpine foothills. The data will help deepen our understanding of air exchange processes over mountainous terrain and the links between local, regional, and global weather processes.

Event Tipp

Schrödinger, Austria and Innsbruck

1925 marks the centenary of quantum mechanics. During Christmas of that year, Schrödinger made the great discovery of his equation and wave mechanics. Although he held appointments in ten cities across six countries, Schrödinger always longed to return to his homeland, Austria, and he had a special link with Innsbruck. Drawing on fresh insights from his recent biography, Schrödinger in Oxford, David Clary will explore these fascinating features in the life of this remarkable theoretical physicist.
