Atmospheric Environmental Research (IMK-IFU)

Protection of nature and the environment is one of the greatest socio-political challenges of this century.

Given the growing world population and the increasing consumption of resources, environmental protection will continue to gain significance in the future. With its scientific activities, IMK-IFU decisively contributes to a better understanding of the atmospheric environment of Earth, its interaction with the biosphere and hydrosphere, its potential further development, and of associated future environmental problems (climate change, air pollution, UV radiation).
