10th International NCCR Climate Summer School 2011

Climate Change, Extremes and Ecosystem Services

4 - 9 September 2011
Grindelwald, Switzerland

Scope

The topics covered at the NCCR Climate Summer School 2011 included:

  • Ecological implications of climate change and weather extremes
  • Ecosystem services and climate change: forests, grasslands and croplands
  • Food security: coping with climate change in agriculture
  • Global land and water use in a changing climate

The Summer School invited young researchers from all fields of climate and climate impact research. The courses covered a broad spectrum of climate impact research issues and foster cross-disciplinary links. Each topic included keynote plenary lectures and workshops with in-depth discussion in smaller groups. All Summer School participants presented a poster of their research and there was ample opportunity for discussion. An excursion lead to exciting research sites.
