ACDC 2015 (Advanced Climate Dynamics Courses)

Topic: Climate and Volcanism

Target: Advanced PhD candidates and early career scientists.

Goal: To mix students and lecturers with empirical/proxy and dynamical training within climate science and focus on understanding the basic principles and dynamics behind current topics in our field. This year we will focus on changes to volcanism and its link to climate in the past, present and future. In particular, we will investigate the possible link between volcanic activity on mid-ocean ridges, sea level and glacial cycles, as well as the link between glacial unloading and volcanism on land. Lectures will also focus on the impact of volcanic eruptions on atmospheric chemistry, circulation and climate.

Confirmed lecturers:

  • Peter Huybers (Harvard),
  • Annica Ekman (Stockholm University),
  • Trude Storelvmo (Yale),
  • Ilona Riipinen (SU),
  • Kristin Krüger (UiO),
  • Kerim H. Nisancioglu (UiB),
  • Patrick Heimbach (UTA/MIT),
