Research activities:
The Earth System Physics section (EPS), established at ICTP in 1998, studies a wide spectrum of the Earth, from the fluid Earth (oceans and the atmosphere) to the Earth's interior. The group's research has contributed extensively to the IPCC assessment reports on climate change. Two main research lines are conducted in fluid Earth physics: Climate Change and Impacts, and Natural Climate Variability and Predictability. Within the solid Earth physics area, the main line of research is in Mechanics of Earthquakes and Tectonophysics. ESP also includes the Structure and Nonlinear Dynamics of the Earth group.
