Nominator's project description

Professor Gerber is an internationally recognized researcher in the field of climate science. His research has had profound impact on our understanding of atmospheric circulation, advancing the use of model hierarchies to improve our understanding of climate variability and change. During his stay in Germany, he plans to collaborate with research groups across Germany on multiple topics within the field of climate science and the general circulation.
