Summer School on Flow and Transport in Terrestrial Systems (July 28 - August 1, 2014), Clausthal

Folgendes kam gerade über den DBG-Verteiler:

Liebe DBG-Mitglieder,

wie in den vergangen Jahren organisieren Hans-Jörg Vogel, Kurt Roth und ich vom 28. Juli bis 1. August wieder eine "Summerschool on Flow and Transport in Terrestrial Systems". Dieses Jahr wird diese Summerschool an der TU Clausthal im Harz stattfinden. Als besonderen Höhepunkt bieten wir eine Exkursion zur TERENO-site des UFZ im Schäfertal an.

Weitere Informationen finden Sie unten. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie möglicherweise interessierte Studenten und Doktoranden auf die Summerschool hinweisen könnten. Die Deadline für die Registrierung ist dieses Jahr bereits der 4. Mai.

Viele Grüße,
Olaf Ippisch


Summer School on Flow and Transport in Terrestrial Systems (July 28 - August 1, 2014)

This summer school provides a compact presentation of current concepts on flow and transport in the subsurface of terrestrial systems.
Thematically, it encompasses the flow of groundwater and soil water, the transport of dissolved chemicals, and the coupling between soil and atmosphere. It covers the underlying physical processes, the multi-scale architecture of terrestrial systems, and the resulting macroscopic phenomena as well as their numerical simulation and methods for estimating effective representation.

The main goals of this summer school are:

1. thorough understanding of the natural processes and of the limitations of their model representations and
2. operational command of corresponding numerical simulation tools.

The course material includes comprehensive lecture notes as well as state-of-the-art numerical simulation tools.


Target Group

Advanced students and researchers active in the field of physical processes within the unsaturated zone and groundwater. Participants should be skilled in basic physics and maths.


Topics

1. Water flowing through aquifers and soils
2. Hierarchical structure of terrestrial systems
3. Transport of dissolved chemicals
4. Modelling and Simulation
5. Parametrisation and Parameter Estimation
6. Field excursion to Schäfertal


Lecturers

The summer school is organized by

* K. Roth, Institute of Environmental Physics, Heidelberg University
* O. Ippisch, Institute for Mathematics, TU Clausthal
* H.-J. Vogel, Department of Soil Physics, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ, Leipzig/Halle

Location

The summer school this year will take place at the Technical University of Clausthal in the beautiful low mountain range of the Harz. TU Clausthal als provides a modern computer pool for the hands on exercises.

Registration

The registration fee is 250 €. For students of the TU Clausthal, Heidelberg University and staff from UFZ Halle there is only a service charge of 100 €. Registration is required for all participants.

The registration fee (as well as the service charge) cover:

* Course materials
* Lunch
* Coffee breaks
* Icebreaker
* Participation at the summer school dinner (without drinks).
* Bus transfer to Schäfertal

Please register until May 4, 2014 at
