In the ELLIS unit Jena (AI for Earth System, Climate and Environmental Sciences), the institutions combine their work on AI, especially with regard to machine learning (ML). Prof. Dr. Markus Reichstein from Max Plack Institute for Biogeochemistry and Prof. Dr. Joachim Denzler from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena are the directors of the unit. Further members, associated members and scholars are Prof. Dr. Alexander Brenning, Prof. Dr. Joachim Giesen, Prof. Dr. Veronika Eyring, Prof. Dr. Gustau Camps-Valls, Prof. Dr. Miguel Mahecha, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pierre Gentine and Dr. Ana Bastos, Dr. Nuno Carvalhais, Dr. Jakob Runge. Dr. Conrad H. Philipp is leading the overall coordination.
