Summer School on Flow and Transport in Terrestrial Systems - July 27-31, 2015 - in Halle

Folgendes tickertes vor Kurzem über den SBG-Verteiler:

Dear Colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming

*Summer School on Flow and Transport in Terrestrial Systems - July
27-31, 2015 - in Halle, Germany*

*Deadline for registration is June 7, 2015*

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 Bad Lauchstädt

Lecturers
The summer school is organized by
* 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 Helmholtz Centre for
Environmental Research - UFZ, Leipzig/Halle

Registration

The registration fee is 230 €. For students of the TU Clausthal, and
staff from UFZ there is only a service charge of 115 €. Registration is
required for all participants.

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

* Course materials
* Lunch
* Coffee breaks
