11th International Swiss Climate Summer School 2012

The Water Cycle in a Changing Climate:Observations, Scenarios, Impacts

9 - 14 September 2012
Centro Stefano Franscini, Monte Verità, Ticino, Switzerland

Scope

The topics covered at the NCCR Climate Summer School 2012 included:

  • Observed variations of the water cycle
  • Physical processes governing the hydrological response to climate change
  • Scenarios of the water cycle in a changing climate
  • Anticipated impacts

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.
