Eberhard Bodenschatz

What if we could observe the birth of a cloud in real time - drop by drop? Physicist Eberhard Bodenschatz investigates one of nature's greatest mysteries: how does an orderly weather system emerge from chaotic turbulence? It's all about climate engineering and the scientific challenges it poses. Bodenschatz will explain the role of fluid turbulence in cloud formation with two experiments. The aim is to gain a better understanding of weather and climate, enable more precise forecasts - and provide early warning of extreme weather and natural disasters.

Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Eberhard Bodenschatz has been Director of the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen since 2003. The physicist conducted research in the USA for many years; focusing on fluid physics, such as turbulence and cloud microphysics.
