Applying for the 8th International Baltic Earth Summer School
Posted by Dr Marcus Reckermann, International Baltic Earth Secretariat
For the eighth time, we offer an international Summer School on the beautiful island of Askö in the Swedish skerries south of Stockholm, a unique social and learning experience. We currently assume and prepare for an on-site Summer School on Askö, like in the previous years except 2020. In the event that the course cannot be given on Askö, we will divert to the online format which was carried out succesfully in 2020.
Climate of the Baltic Sea region
This school is primarily intended for master students in geosciences and associated fields.
The course will focus on past and future changes in climate of the Baltic Sea region. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed sea with a large freshwater supply from rivers of the adjacent catchment area in the transition zone between maritime and continental climates in northern Europe. Many long-term observational data are available and provide a good knowledge about oceanic changes during the past two centuries and even longer periods. Proxy-data of the past 1,000 to 2,000 years bear witness of a pronounced climate variability in the region.
In cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde and the international Baltic Earth Network, the students are offered a high-quality education, which is complemented by guest lecturers from the Baltic Sea states.
