The tutorial question sheets, data and code examples can be downloaded from the KIT GitLab repository: esm tutorials.

Note that you'll need a laptop with a Python environment like anaconda for the tutorials. See installation hints in the first tutorial sheet.

TBA, probably some time in August 2018, depending on people's availability.

There are currently openings in our group to write a master thesis, see this advert:
