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

What you should already know

Vorkenntnisse aus der Satellitenfernerkundung und anderen geowissenschaftlichen Methodenrecommended

Assessment

Written presentationOral performance

The examination performance consists of a 45-minute seminar presentation. The topic is selected from a list of possible topics presented at the beginning and concretized in consultation with the instructors. In the presentation: 1) place the discussed publications in the literature context, 2) present the methods used, 3) describe the results, and 4) critically discuss the findings. Subsequently you moderate the discussion with fellow students. Information on aids or weighting is not explicitly stated.
