AWI permafrost researcher Moritz Langer received the climate award of the Reinhard Süring Foundation. The award is endowed with a prize money of 1500 euro and honours Langer outstanding study: Satellite-based modeling of permafrost temperatures in a tundra lowland landscape, published in the scientific journal Remote Sensing of Environment.
Unfortunately, all copies of the book were destroyed in World War II, except for a few private copies, so that this book is practically not available.
The book “The Climates of the Geological Past” by Wladimir Köppen and Alfred Wegener – originally published in 1924 – has now been published as a facsimile reprint of the original German edition including a full English translation "The Climates of the Geological Past".
The reprint will be officially presented today at the GeoBerlin Conference in the presence of Wegener's grandson Günther Schönharting.
