Over deze cursus
This course has a strong multidisciplinary approach and is intended to bring together students from several disciplines in order to learn from each other and to appreciate the problems, which are at stake in the different disciplines. Guideline for the course is the structure used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) which recently released a new series of reports on the physics of the climate system, adaption strategies and mitigation strategies as well as a synthesis report. All these aspects will be treated by a wide scope of lecturers according to the following schedule. Subject Week Week number Topic Responsible 1 1+2 17+18 Physics of the climate system R.v.d.Wal/A.
