Climate change is seen as one of the biggest challenges of our time. As extreme temperature and precipitation events, especially compound events, are among the most impactful, with this summer school, we aim to equip participants with new methodologies to assess their intensity and frequency and conduct climate change impact studies. During summer school, organised by the SCEWERO project, young researchers and students in climate, hydrology and environmental studies will be able to gain practical experience with processing and analysing climate and hydrological data to assess extreme weather events.
With this summer school, we aim to:
– Get more knowledge about the various types of climate data and tools/methods to process/analyse them for extreme weather events and get experience in using these tools/methods/data;
– Learn what is needed for interdisciplinary impact/adaptation studies on climate change;
– Broaden network on extreme temperature and precipitation events, including compound extremes and impact assessments.
