Earth system variability through time

This theme has been chosen due to its paramount impor-tance in terms of both scientific challenges and pressing societal concerns. Always with a focus on processes, observations and modeling, the specific topics include:

• Earth system variability and climate change on glacial-interglacial cycles
• Climate change forcings and feedbacks: past, present, future
• The +2°C world and beyond
• Tipping points, rapid changes and extreme events

The Summer School invites young researchers from all fields of climate research. The courses cover a broad spectrum of climate and climate impact research issues and foster cross-disciplinary links. Each topic includes keynote plenary lectures and workshops with in-depth discussion in smaller groups. All Summer School participants are expected to present a poster of their research and there will be ample opportunity for discussion.
