Supervision in cooperation with the University Bremen,
POLMAR,
Earth System Science Research School (ESSReS),
and the Postgraduate Programme Environmental Physics (pep).
We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves
(Galileo Galilei) (some hints for thesis writing and for the committees ). (some hints!)
