Glaciers and Ice Sheets in the Climate System
On Tuesday the 11th of September 2007 the seventh edition of the Karthaus summer school - Glaciers
and Ice Sheets in the Climate System started.
The summer school formed an intensive training in ice and climate research during almost two weeks.
A typical Karthaus summer school day began at half past eight in the morning with lectures until
lunchtime. The afternoon was used for exercises and the computer projects. While the exercises further explored
the subjects of the morning lectures, the computer projects lasted the whole period; on the last day
the students presented their (sometimes very entertaining) results.
It all took place in Karthaus, a small and
characteristic village in the beautiful Schnals valley in Südtirol, northern Italy.
Lectures were given in the Dorfgemeinschaft (Village Community) building;
all 36 PhD students and 12 staff members were accommodated in and around Hotel Goldenen
Rose. This hotel was the daily scene of the splendid breakfast, lunch and diner
festivities and even served as a music hall twice.
The seventh edition of the Karthaus summerschool was organised, as the editions before, by Hans
Oerlemans of IMAU, Utrecht University.
