Live and act

Marotzke studied physics at the Universities of Bonn , Copenhagen and Kiel and graduated in 1985 with a diploma. In 1990 he received his doctorate in physical oceanography in Kiel. He then worked for two years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where he became an assistant professor in 1992 and an associate professor in 1997. From 1999 to 2003 he was professor of physical oceanography at the Southampton Oceanography Center , after which he was appointed director of the Hamburg Max Planck Institute for Meteorology. Since 2006 he has also been an honorary professor at the University of Hamburg . A year later he became a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina . In the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC published in 2014, he was one of the two coordinating lead authors of the chapter on the evaluation of climate models.
