12th International Swiss Climate Summer School 2013

Scope

The topics covered at the NCCR Climate Summer School 2013 included:

• Climate variability of the past two millennia and the next century
• Calibrating proxies, modeling past climate, data-model comparison, detection and attribution
• Rapid climate change and feedbacks, tipping points
• Decadal predictability: theory and processes

The Summer School invited young researchers from all fields of climate research. The courses covered a broad spectrum of climate and climate impact research issues and have fostered cross-disciplinary links. Each topic included keynote plenary lectures and workshops with in-depth discussion in smaller groups. All Summer School participants presented a poster of their research and there was ample opportunity for discussion. During an excursion to a mountain hut, the participants had the opportunity to learn more about the climate, geological and settlement development of Grindelwald and its surroundings.
