The research group led by biologist Prof. Arp Schnittger from Universität Hamburg has received the 2018 HFSP Research Grant together with international partners from France, Chile, and the USA.

Gravitational force, life force, work force, buying force, creative force, the force of art-our concepts of force are not restricted to the natural sciences, but are also central to a number of cultural spheres, not least aesthetics.

Extreme gusts of wind of more than 40 km per hour are common on Hamburg's footpaths. Measurements undertaken by Professor Felix Ament and Dr. Sarah Wiesner from the Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN) at Universität Hamburg demonstrate this.
