DY 20: Focus Session: Water – from Atmosphere to Space I (joint session CPP/DY)

Dienstag, 10. März 2026, 09:30–11:00, ZEU/LICH

Water plays a vital role in diverse Earth processes across multiple scales, from atmospheric cycles and aerosol chemistry to geological porous media and nanoscale biological functions of hydrated proteins. Despite its fundamental importance and numerous anomalous properties, such as the diverging heat capacity of supercooled water, pure bulk water remains poorly understood. Key phenomena like evaporation and crystallization are relevant not only on Earth but also in extraterrestrial environments. In Germany, molecular water research is flourishing across prestigious centers, exemplified by the new BlueMat cluster at Hamburg University of Technology, the renewed RESOLV cluster at Ruhr-University Bochum, and the Max Planck Society’s expanding Liquid Initiative in Mainz. The 2025 inauguration of the Centre for Molecular Water Science (CMWS) at Hamburg’s DESY campus further strengthens a Europe-wide interdisciplinary network, uniting 47 founding members from 12 countries to advance water science across disciplines and methods. Within this focus session the state of molecular water research shall be discussed and interactions between the physical sub-fields shall be fostered.

Organized by Alexander Schlaich, Katrin Amann-Winkel, Mischa Bonn.
