Topic: Hemispheric Asymmetry in Climate


Venue: Finse Arctic Research Center, Hardangervidda National Park, Norway. 



Dates: 17th-28th September, 2018


Application deadline: 10 March 2018 - application form can be found here: https://goo.gl/forms/RBOxDCQXYXLfegnc2


Target: Advanced PhD candidates and early career scientists.


Goal: To mix students and lecturers with empirical and dynamical training within climate science and focus on understanding the basic principles and dynamics relating to asymmetries in climate.


Price: All local expenses (such as accommodation, food and field work) on site are covered by the summer school, but participants have to cover their travel to Norway themselves.


Key topics to be included:
- hemispheric asymmetry in the mean climate
- asymmetry in deep water formation
- hemispheric phasing of Quaternary climate changes
- bipolar seesaw (leads and lags)
- spatial and temporal manifestations of rapid climate changes


Confirmed lecturers: David Battisti (University of Washington), Jake Gebbie (WHOI), Patrick Heimbach (UTexas/MIT), Kerim H. Nisancioglu (UiB/UiO), Øyvind Paasche (UiB), Tore Furevik (UiB), Iselin Medhaug (UiB/ETH Zurich).
