Courses

Atmospheric processes: from cloud to global scales

ENV-407

The main objective is to present important atmospheric processes from the local to global scales. The course will start with cloud processes, continue to synoptic phenomena like extratropical cyclones and fronts, to finally cover numerical modeling at the regional and global scales.

Climate change A: causes, impacts, challenges

HUM-121(a)

The course deepens global climate-related issues: the climate system; the impacts of climate change; justice issues and governance ; climate objectives and policies. The interdisciplinary approach introduces group work and scientific methodology.

Remote sensing

ENV-341

This course aims at exposing the students to the main concepts, instruments and techniques of environmental remote sensing. The interactions between waves and matter, different types of sensors and image-processing techniques are presented.

Sensing and spatial modeling for earth observation

ENV-408

Students get acquainted with the process of mapping from images (orthophoto and DEM), as well as with methods for monitoring the Earth surface using remotely sensed data. Methods will span from machine learning to geostatistics and model the spatiotemporal variability of processes.
