Summer schools

In order to stimulate mutual understanding and exchange of ideas between students from different disciplines, two one-week summer schools will be organized in each year of the program. These summer schools will be guided by at least two professors from different disciplines (e.g. from hydrology and mathematics) and will focus on an area of common interest (e.g. flow and transport through porous media).  One summer school per year is mandatory for all fellows of the research school. Below a non-exhaustive list of potential modules:

• Heat and mass transfer in porous media    
• Measuring and modeling of hydrological processes    
• e-learning: the modeling system WEKUW     
• Integration of heterogeneous observational data and numerical model approaches   
• Advanced data analysis and applications in earth system research     

Mathematical Modeling and Numerics for Geophysical Flows and Applications

Ralf Kornhuber: Introduction to numerical methods for elliptic problems

Volker John: Numerical methods for the Stokes equations

Rupert Klein: Modelling of Multiscale Processes

Sebastian Reich: Techiques for data assimilation

Andrey Babeyko: Modeling of tsunamis, Modeling of lithospheric deformation

Bernhard Steinberger: Modeling of mantle convection and plate tectonics

Sascha Oswald: Gathering real data: fluxes at the landsurface-atmosphere-interface

Students: Presentation of their projects (5 to 10 min each, only students who started 2010 or 2011)
