  1. 🌿 Last week, the #MPIM hosted a colloquium on "Vegetation-Climate Interactions," celebrating the 70th birthday of our former director, Prof. Martin Claussen.
    The symposium featured talks on the #GreenSahara, past #monsoons, tropical tree‑cover dynamics, and #ClimateModeling—all of which sparked lively discussions.
