“Science of climate change” equips students with a comprehensive scientific understanding of climate change covering a wide range of topics from physical principles, historical climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, the IPCC assessment, to future scenarios and climate action. The course is structured such that students from a variety of backgrounds (e.g., economics, engineering, natural sciences) can participate.

Le cours est une introduction à la théorie des valeurs extrêmes et son utilisation pour la gestion des risques hydrologiques (essentiellement crues). Une ouverture plus large sur la gestion des dangers naturels pour l'aménagement du territoire est proposée en plus des outils de quantification

The Global Satellite Navigation Systems (GNSS) are widely applied not only for positioning and localisation (traffic, personal devices, surveying and navigation) but also for natural hazards (subsidence and landslide observing, tsunami alert, etc.) as well as environmental monitoring (water vapour probing, total electron content estimation, soil moisture). They are also becoming part of many communication devices. The student will learn how to process the observed direct and indirect signals for positioning, speed determination as well as environmental applications.
