The winter school is co-organised by the research school CHESS (https://chess.w.uib.no) and the Norwegian Geophysical Society. Participation is free for CHESS members.
When: 9-13 December 2024
Where: Wallemtunet, Kvamskogen
Credit: 2 ECTS
Workshop organiser: Thomas Spengler, UiB & leader of the Norwegian Geophysical Society
Maximum number of participants: 20
Registration deadline: 10 November 2024
Topic: The school will focus on water in all its phases (vapour, liquid, solid) in all spheres of the climate system (atmosphere, cyrosphere, hydrosphere and ocean, litosphere). Specific topics will revolve around the role of the water cycle and its paths through the different phases and spheres. For example, the hydrological cycle dominated by evaporation, precipitation, and runoff, as well as the water cycle on longer timescales involving the formation and melting of sea ice and ice shelves and their interactions with the ocean and climate. The winter school will focus on both theoretical understanding, modelling and observations, as well as practical exercises, where particular focus will be on the usage of Earth System models.
