Introduction to Earth and Climate Dynamics
The Summer School in 鈥淚ntroduction to Earth and Climate Dynamics鈥� is designed for students aged 16 to 18 interested in understanding and protecting the planet from geological hazards and climate change. The programme can be considered as a preparatory path for the Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Earth and Climate Dynamics, which provides interdisciplinary training in various Earth System components.
During this week-long immersive experience, there will be lectures on geology, paleoclimatology, geomorphology, oceanography, and atmospheric physics, as well as hands-on laboratory activities and field trips. Students will engage in laboratory work, including microfossils identification and geological cores analysis. Key highlights include a two-day trip to the UNESCO-listed Dolomites and Vajont Dam, and a visit to the Po River delta, a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
The programme culminates in a group project and a final ceremony awarding participation diplomas, held at the University Museum of Nature and Humankind.
