ExpertInnen der regionalen Klimamodellierung tauschten sich bei internationalem Netzwerk-Treffen an der Uni Graz aus

Rund 60 ForscherInnen, großteils aus europäischen Ländern, trafen sich von 19. bis 22. September 2017 an der Uni Graz zur „12. CLM Community Assembly“. Die CLM (Climate Limited-area Modelling) Community ist ein internationales Netzwerk von WissenschafterInnen, die mit dem regionalen Klimamodell COSMO arbeiten und es weiter verbessern. Heuer fand das Treffen der Vereinigung erstmals in Österreich statt. Für die Organisation verantwortlich war ein Team um Dr. Heimo Truhetz vom Wegener Center für Klima und Globalen Wandel Karl-Franzens-Universität.

„ForscherInnen unserer Universität verfügen über umfassende Expertise im Bereich Umwelt und Globaler Wandel. Dieser zählt zu jenen Feldern, die das Profil der Universität maßgeblich prägen“, unterstrich Vizerektor Peter Riedler bei der Eröffnung der Veranstaltung. Die Entwicklung von zuverlässigen Klimamodellen ist Ziel der Forschungsgruppe Reloclim am Wegener Center, dessen stellvertretender Leiter Heimo Truhetz ist.

„COSMO wird derzeit von mehreren europäischen Wetterdiensten, aber auch in Russland und Israel verwendet“, berichtet der Wissenschafter, der einer Arbeitsgruppe der CLM Community angehört. Das Netzwerk-Treffen bot den Mitgliedern Gelegenheit, sich über den aktuellen Stand der Modell-Entwicklung und dessen Anwendungen zu informieren, sowie ein Forum für Diskussion, Erfahrungsaustausch und die Festlegung neuer Ziele.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
