Summer Institute on Earth-Surface Dynamics 2011
Introduction
NCED (National Center for Earth Surface Dynamics) and CSDMS cmbined forces for the Summer Institute on Earth-Surface Dynamics, SIESD, designed to engage young scientists in a focused topic in Earth-surface dynamics. The topic of the 2011 Summer Institute was Coastal Processes and the Dynamics of Deltaic Systems. NCED shares expertise on laboratory experiments and fieldwork and CSDMS brings numerical modeling experiments. This two-week institute invited PhD students and young faculty to participate in integrated modeling.
Impressions
Eligibility
- SIESD invites graduate students, postdocs and young faculty (three years from PhD) and those who primarily teach undergraduates. Applications from women, minorities and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged.
- Applications are open from April 1st to May 14th, 2011.
- Apply through the NCED website
Summer School 2011 Topic
Summer Institute 2011 focused on ‘Coastal Processes and the Dynamics of Deltaic Systems’. Students learned from world experts on coastal processes and predictive evolution of deltas. They ran an We will look at coupled models of erosion, deposition, and vegetation; responses to up- and downstream anthropogenic perturbations; and how predictive modeling can be used for restoration of these delicate ecosystems. Hands-on learning opportunities will include the exploration of physical experiments as well as an intensive unit on the use of delta modeling tools available through CSDMS. The Summer Institute is a stimulating environment for learning, bonding, mentoring and life-long academic partnerships.
