(Registration deadline is an indication!; class is full, when limit of 30students is reached).

The Aberdeen Catchment Science Summer School is a 5-day short course that is intended for post-graduate students and post-docs interested in a hands-on catchment science curriculum, focusing on northern catchments, runoff processes and combined hydrometric, isotope/chemical tracer and modelling techniques in catchment hydrology. The learning objectives for this short course are to understand:

Rainfall-runoff processes

  • Rainfall runoff model development, use and testing
  • Hydrochemical and isotopic measurement and analyses
  • Linking field experiments with modelling approaches
  • Evolution of empirical and theoretical understanding of runoff processes
  • Landscape analysis

The text for the short course will be the IAHS Benchmark Papers volumes on Streamflow Generation (by Keith Beven) and Rainfall-Runoff Modeling (by Keith Loague). Selections from these books will be made available to students during the short course.

Enrollment in the class is limited to 30 students. Our aim is for a hands-on course experience with a low student-teacher ratio.
