Quantifizierung von Erdsystemresilience aus dem Weltraum

What it is about

You will learn methods for quantifying the resilience of Earth system components from observation data, especially satellite data. In the end you can explain the most important diagnostic methods, assess their advantages and disadvantages, and contextualize results from observations within geoscientific theories and models.

What you will be able to do

• Describe the most important methods for quantifying Earth system resilience
• Explain the theoretical foundations of these methods
• Compare the advantages and limitations of the methods
• Classify critical Earth system components by resilience and stability
• Contextualize measurable changes of resilience indicators in geoscientific contexts
• Critically evaluate scientific and media hypotheses based on observations
• Prepare and present the literature studied in a user-appropriate way

What the module consists of

• SeminarStudents deliver lectures, present and discuss scientific publications; instructors provide content overview and feedback

Teaching method

• Dozenten-VortragIntroduction to content and criteria of good seminar talks
• Literatur-Review und DiskussionReview papers and scientific publications are presented and critically discussed together
• StudierendenvorträgeIndependent familiarization, presentation and subsequent moderation of a discussion
• Betreuung in der VorbereitungsphaseSupport in topic selection and preparation by instructors
