Core courses (calendar)
The core courses are broad and cross-disciplinary, highlighting interactions
between climate and environment. There are 6 core courses, each to be held at
least once every two years:
1. Science, research, institutions, and policy for global change
2. Aquatic Ecology (no course planned)
3. Forcing and Feedback Mechanisms in the Climate System
5. Chronologies
Specialized courses
These courses will give the student up-to-date skills in research theories and
techniques within a specific subject area. The specialized courses will attempt
to cover many areas of climate and environmental research. In addition, it may
be beneficial for students to follow non-COGCI courses; e.g. international courses.
Examples of COGCI specialized courses are: Advanced data analysis in climate
research, Climate development in the Holocene, Ecotoxicology, Aquatic Ecosystems,
Terrestrial Ecosystems, Arctic Ecosystems, Tropical Ecosystems, Landuse (GIS),
Biodiversity, Environmental Chemistry, Cycling of elements on a regional/global
scale, Atmospheric Science, Remote Sensing.
Introduction
to Remote Sensing (Web based course)
Theme-days
COGCI will communicate global change, climate and environmental issues to society
in general. This will be done by having 1-2 theme-days per semester. These theme-days
will focus on a topic of current interest. COGCI will invite keynote speakers,
and socio-economic aspects of global change will be included. Student's participation
will be counted towards the 30 ECTS requirement.
Student Seminars
PhD students will give at least 2 presentations at student seminars. The purpose
is to train communication skills at the highest scientific level.
