Inhalt
Short Summary:
Advanced Physical Climate focusses on regional modes of climate variability, their diagnostics, impacts and predictability, on climate feedback mechanisms and the IPCC process.

Course Content:
Advanced aspects of the Physical Climate System will be addressed by lectures and practical application. The following topics will be covered:
North Atlantic Oscillation, Great Salinity Anomaly, Tropical Atlantic Variability, Monsoon Dynamics (MJO), Regional Impacts of Climate Change, Ice-Albedo Feedback, Cloud/Water Vapor - Radiation Feedback, Wind – SST (Bjerkness) Feedback, MOC – Sea-Ice Feedback, Vegetation – Radiation Feedback, Ocean ventilation – CO2, Biogeochemical Cycles
In addition the IPCC process and content of the report will be studied.

Learning Outcomes:
Students will become familiar with the basic regional modes of physical climate variability with a focus on the ocean and atmosphere and their interaction with an emphasis on interannual to centennial time scales. They will learn about climatic impacts on human activity and obtain a basic understanding of the IPCC process. Moreover, they will understand the underlying positive and negative feedbacks of the climate system and how they can be simulated in models. They will be able to make use of mathematical methods needed to solve physical problems in climate dynamics with a particular focus on advanced statistical data analysis and simple models.

current list of presentations

The Ocean Circulation and Climate Dynamics Colloquium exposes students to research topics in ocean and climate sciences. The seminars are held by experts from GEOMAR and national and international visitors.

Course Content
Students are exposed to current research topics. They experience professional oral lectures and are expected to actively contribute to the post-seminar discussion.

Learning Outcomes Students will have advanced their skills in scientific presentations by being exposed to the state of the art in the field. They have an overview of current research topics in ocean, atmosphere and climate science and learn to participate in scientific debates.

Inhalt
Short Summary
Ocean Sustainability covers a broad range of topics in marine science and their connection to society. The learner is given the opportunity to brush up their understanding of key ocean aspects using on-line lectures and apply this knowledge in a small practical project and poster presentation.

Course Content
Explain the fundamentals of Ocean Sustainable Development and review the most salient aspects of marine science including:
Ocean Change: Ocean Circulation and Sea Level, Ocean Chemistry, Marine Biodiversity, Ocean Acidification
Ocean Climate Engineering:
Living Resources: Sustainable Fisheries, Aquaculture, Invasive Species Marine Substances
Non-living resources: Mineral exploitation, Gas Hydrates
Ocean Governance: Common Heritage of Mankind / International Public Law, Legal aspect of Marine Spatial Planning & Global, Regional and Local Marine Protected Areas

Learning Outcomes
The student have gained knowledge ocean sustainable development and obtained a broad overview of relevant topics on key themes of ocean science related to ocean sustainability. They will have studied based on on-line lectures as part of a Massive Open Online Course. They are able to work in teams to bring complementary skills to a small project dealing with ocean sustainability. They have learned how to showcase their results on form of a poster presentation.
