Karthaus 2008

The 8th Karthaus summer school on Ice Sheets and Glaciers in the Climate System took place from 9 to 20 September 2008. During nearly two weeks, 36 students (mainly Ph.D.) had lectures in various topics within glaciology, ranging from numerical modelling of ice sheets and glaciers to lectures about observational methods. Next to lectures and excersises also computer projects, done in groups of three students are part of the daily Karthaus programme.

Accomodation for all students and the entire staff was provided by hotel Zur Goldenen Rose, runned by Paul and Stefanie Grüner. The summer school is organized by Hans Oerlemans.
