The 12th Annual Catchment Science Summer School will be run virtually from Aug 29-Sep 3, 2021. It is designed for PhD students and postdocs in catchment science. The course is taught by Jeff McDonnell , Dr. Chris Soulsby, Dr. Jan Seibert, Dr. Ilja van Meerveld, Dr. David Hannah, Dr. Stefan Krause and Dr. Dorthe Tetzlaff. It is co-hosted by the University of Birmingham and the University of Aberdeen, University of Zurich, TU Berlin and the Global Institute for Water Security.
Course instructors bring a broad spectrum of experience and knowledge from a variety of universities with water programs. This course is an excellent opportunity for professional networking and planning next-steps in your career.
Course Overview
The Catchment Science Summer School is a 5-day short course that is intended for post-graduate students and post-docs interested in a hands-on catchment science curriculum, focusing on northern catchments, runoff processes and combined hydrometric, isotope/chemical tracer and modeling techniques in catchment hydrology. The learning objectives for this short course are to understand:
- Rainfall-runoff processes
- Rainfall-runoff model development, use, and testing
- Hydrochemical and isotopic measurement and analyses
- Linking field experiments with modeling approaches
- Evolution of empirical and theoretical understanding of runoff processes
- Landscape analysis, land-use and climate change impacts on streamflow
Registration deadline 27 August 2021.
