8th International Baltic Earth Winter School on "Earth System Science for the Baltic Sea Region”

The interdisciplinary school will provide a broad overview of ongoing research activities on the Earth system in the Baltic Sea region. One of the goals of the school is to provide an overview of the level of knowledge and to assist in future career choices.

The 8th Baltic Earth Winter School will cover the processes and variability from micro- to global scale and from short-term to climate timescale. All compartments of the Earth system, such as the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, land surface, and terrestrial and marine ecosystems, will be discussed. The holistic view of the Earth system will include the anthroposphere, considering human impacts on climate and environment.

A number of teachers with different scientific backgrounds from all over the Baltic Sea and the EU will introduce PhD students and early career scientists to their research topics in an easily understandable format. Lectures on theories, observations, and modelling will be complemented by exercises and debates on hot topics in Earth system science and knowledge gaps.

All participants will be allowed to present their research in the form of short talks or posters and to receive feedback. Participants will receive certificates corresponding to the number of hours/credits.
