Supervision of Students:

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves (Galileo Galilei). Student supervision in cooperation with University Bremen in the postgraduate programme environmental physics (pep). External students from other universities are welcome to make their thesis at AWI (some hints for thesis writing).
Here the sheet for applying the thesis paper, thesis.
