11th International Baltic Earth Summer School
Posted by Dr Marcus Reckermann, International Baltic Earth Secretariat
We invite students from the entire Baltic Sea region to an international Summer School, a unique social and learning experience.
Climate of the Baltic Sea region
18 August – 25 August 2025
On the beautiful Swedish island of Askö, we offer for the 11th time a week of learning all about the Baltic Sea Earth system and climate. Students will be introduced into fundamental processes of the atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice and land surface with relevance for the climate system. The course will deal with coupled atmosphere-ocean climate models, climate change, the greenhouse gas effect and other drivers of regional climate, dynamical downscaling, and the variability of circulation and regional climate. We will also study the possible impact of climate change on the marine ecosystem including biogeochemical cycles.
With the help of teachers from several disciplines, a holistic Earth System approach will be presented although the main focus of the course is on the physical aspects of changing climate. In addition to lectures, tutorials, exercises and literature studies the course will give the students the opportunity to discuss the learned topics further during group exercises.
In cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) and the Baltic Earth programme through the International Baltic Earth Secretariat at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, the students are offered a high-quality education, which is complemented by guest lecturers from the Baltic Sea states. The Summer School is hosted by Askö Laboratory of Stockholm University, Baltic Sea Centre. Askö Laboratory situated 80 km south of Stockholm in the Swedish archipelago.
