"Course goals\n\n \nAfter successfully completing this course, the student will:\nhave an in-depth overview of the functioning of the hydrological cycle and the cryosphere as part of the climate system;\nhave attained knowledge about the impact of climate change and climate variability on terrestrial hydrological fluxes such as precipitation, evaporation, glacier and snow melt and river runoff;\nhave attained knowledge about the interaction between hydrological states and fluxes and the climate system, including feedbacks related to groundwater, soil moisture, ice and snow;\nappreciate the many sources of uncertainty in climate change projections that are caused from an incomplete description of terrestrial hydrological cycle and are acquainted with examples of running debates and controversies.\nPlease note: This course will be taught compressed in a 5-weeks full time format (week 22 up and until week 27)\nContent\n\nThe course consists of a set of lectures, in which a separate subject is treated by an expert. The course outline is divided in three main blocks: the climate system, fundamentals of the atmosphere, cryosphere and the hydrosphere and climate change impacts.\n \n1.The climate system\nAn overview of the global climate system\nThe role of the hydrological cycle in the climate system\n2.Fundamentals of atmosphere, cryosphere and the hydrosphere\nMeasurements and physics of precipitation\nMeasurements and physics of evaporation\nPrinciples of the atmospheric boundary layer\nClimate, soil moisture and groundwater feedbacks\nMountain meteorology\nSnow hydrology\nPhysics of glaciers\n3.Climate change impacts\nClimate model and downscaling\nDynamics of glaciers, ice sheets and global sea-level rise\nThe intensification of the hydrological cycle\nClimate change impacts on mountain hydrology\nIn addition, there will be hands-on exercises and case study work to get familiar with commonly used tools, methods and key concepts. There are three short hands-on exercises of half day each. The topics of the hands-on exercises are:\nClimate change impacts on snow and glaciers part I: downscaling\nClimate change impacts on snow and glaciers part II: snow\nClimate change impacts on snow and glaciers part III: glaciers\nThe final part of the course will be to develop a short movie in groups. the movie is focused on \"raising climate awareness for the broad public\" using material from the course. You will first participate in a masterclass by a professional moviemaker." . . "Presential"@en . "TRUE" . . "Master of Earth, Life and Climate"@en . .

"Topics you will study during this two-year programme include amongst others the origin and evolution of life, major transitions in earth’s history, dynamics of sedimentary systems, carbon sources and sinks, biogeochemical and geochemical cycles, climate change and its impact on natural environments such as glaciers, ice sheets, lakes, groundwater, wetlands, estuaries, and oceans. You will learn state-of-the-art reconstruction methods, modelling techniques, and laboratory experiments that has been developed and applied in a wide range of earth and beta science disciplines, such as biogeology, palaeontology, palynology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, environmental geochemistry, organic geochemistry, hydrology, physical geography, geology, biology, climate dynamics, marine sciences and palaeoceanography. You will utilise these skills in your own research project or internship in preparation for an international career in applied or fundamental research."@en . . . . . "2"@en . "FALSE" . .
