"The aim of this course is to enhance the student’s understanding of the physical processes that cause natural hazards, the methods and the physically-based modelling approaches for hazard analysis, to the point at which students are able to use them with their own data. As the processes of selected natural hazards, including flooding, landslides and earthquakes, are explained, the students will be introduced to fundamentals of the underpinning science and engineering. Model data requirements and data collection will be treated, as well as the evaluation of uncertainty of input data on simulation outputs. Modelling principles and assumptions, possibilities and limitations will be discussed with the aim that students can make a proper selection of models for a given situation and critically reflect on the results, in order to support hazard analysis as input to risk management and mitigation. "@en .

A number of papers on weather impact analysis will be introduced by staff for self-study. A case-study will be introduced as an individual project; with limited guidance, students will on a self-defined, real-world challenge, where weather data will be collected and analyzed related to an application field of their interest. The project is based on Challenge-based learning approach. Frequently feedback/intervision sessions and formative evaluations will be implemented to ensure students reflect and communicate on their steps in the individual learning process with their peers and experts."@en . . . . .

The weather has an impact on the earth surface, but also on everything that is on that surface: vegetation, soil, water availability, humans, etc. Many natural hazards have extreme weather conditions as a trigger, like droughts, floods, heat-waves, and rainfall-induced landslides. Also, agricultural production is dependent on weather conditions, as extreme weather events might cause damage to crops or land, and lead to less harvest. Similarly, the extent and magnitude of the urban heat island effects are largest under hot, stable weather conditions. When analyzing and visualising this weather information with data on the earth systems under study, one gets insight into the impact of weather and can act accordingly to prevent or mitigate disasters.\n\nFortunately, the weather is continuously monitored worldwide, by satellites and ground stations at minute, daily or monthly scales. Many meteorological datasets are freely accessible, being an enormously rich source for weather information. \n\nThis course provides knowledge on weather data sources and tools to analyze the interaction between the weather and earth surface processes in time and space. The focus will be on analysing meteorological datasets to extract information on extreme weather events. The challenge will be to link this climatic information to non-meteorological data to learn more on the impact weather has on earth systems, such as natural hazards, hydrology, vegetation, urban environments, etc."@en .
