| Title |
Climate Risk Assessment |
| Description |
The central topics of this course are the definition, the description, the dynamics and the assessment of climate change related risks. In the lecture the following questions will be addressed: How can we define extreme events? Can we understand these changes based on physical and / or dynamical properties? How can we assess climate risks? Which climate risks are important for Switzerland? What is adaptation and how can we develop sustainable adaptation strategies?
In the application-based lab part of the course students will learn how to process and analyze the output of climate models and to extract the necessary information for very basic estimates of changes in the frequency and / or location of extreme weather events.
In the lab the students learn basic Linux commands, and how to analyze climate model output using Python. It is expected that students who are not yet familiar with the Linux operating system and command line based programming are able to attend every lab lecture.
This course can also be attended by Master and PhD students of the Graduate School of Climate Sciences |
