Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology (IGM)
The Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology at the University of Cologne has been constantly growing during the last five years. By now, there are about 50 researchers working on a variety of scientific projects. New areas of interest, mainly in the field of environmental research, have lead to a division of the institute onto four different office buildings, spread over the city of Cologne.
