Earth Systems Summer School 2024
Land-Atmosphere-Ocean Interactions in a Changing Planet: A hands-on approach to Earth observation and modelling
Who
For PhD students and other post- graduate students in all topics of Earth System Science, including Meteorology and Climate, Physical Oceanography, Geology, Geodesy, Geophysics and Environment.
Location
Lectures and Practicals at Aveiro University; Field activities in Aveiro Lagoon, Geoparque Arouca and Vagueira Beach
Course Description
The summer school will include lectures, hands-on sessions and field trips on various topics of Earth Systems. We will focus on the dynamics of and interactions between the different spheres of the Earth: solid Earth, ocean, atmosphere and biosphere. Lectures will focus on state-of-the art research and recent advances. Hands-on sessions will include observation, field work, and data analysis. The topics of hands-on sessions will cover atmospheric processes, coastal environments, oceanic and estuarine dynamics, geophysics & geodynamics, and machine learning. Field work includes both land and ocean observations.
Applications
Pre-application deadline: 1/Mar/2024. For applications received until this date, the organization will prioritize candidates in the two first years of their PhD programs. We will also aim to maximize networking between students from different scientific areas and institutions. After the pre-application deadline, applicants will be selected on a “first come, first served” basis. Final deadline: 31/May/2024. Applications should be sent by email to earthsystems@fc.ul.pt. Applications must include the applicant’s CV and a short motivation letter from the candidate, including the title of the PhD, supervisors and year of PhD. Maximum number of students: 35.
Fee: 300 euros
The fee includes the registration, lodging in university student accommodation, lunches, dinners and field trips. All other costs, including traveling to the venue, must be covered by the students.
