PC-S - Modelling in the applied Environmental sciences
Maria Piquer Rodriguez, Ahuvit Lilach Trumper
Comments
The topic of modeling in applied environmental research is addressed using a selected example from geoscience research. A strong focus will be placed on the modeling of land use changes for the PC-S module.
Theoretical knowledge of systems modelling, model selection and model application is first taught in the GK. Based on this basic knowledge, the students develop an appropriate model for a selected study area under supervision in the PC-S with a focus on land-use. The focus is on the preparation and implementation of input data, calibration, validation, and evaluation of the model quality as well as the final application of the model to answer typical geo-scientific research questions. These include, in particular, scenario calculations to estimate possible future changes in the modeled target variables.
The entire course (GK+PC-S) uses a mixture of lectures, practical exercises and discussion rounds as well as participatory exercises (role playing).
Extra Info: The module will be taught in English and in 8hr block style during 10 sessions towards the end of the WS. Please check the specific schedule.
Please note that this year is the first time that theory needs to be separated from practice, and we will try to schedule theoretical sessions in the morning. Yet, some days there may be complete with theory and other days there will be no theory. For example, Day 1 is only theory, the entire day, BUT days 4, 7 and 10 there is no theory session.
