"The course starts with a small set of lectures combined with a number of supervised practicals/tutorials. 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 .

"Land Administration encompasses four fields i.e. land tenure, land use, land value and land development. These four fields are also referred to as land management practices. This course focuses on the land management practices in the context of the policy frameworks and sustainable development. The land management paradigm is used a guiding framework. The land management paradigm stresses the relationship between land policy and the four land administration functions i.e. land tenure, land value, land use and land development – and the wider societal goals. As such, legal frameworks, institutions, processes, interventions, successes and challenges are discussed in the context of social, economic, environmental pillars of development. Further, how these land management practices also link with emerging issues such as climate change are also discussed. The course therefore addresses both conventional and innovative ways of land management, promoting a paradigm shift towards responsible land administration. The course relates state-of-the-art scientific knowledge to students' experiences, perceptions and country context. "@en . "Responsible Land Administration"@en . .

Various process interact at various time scales, ranging from minutes in atmospheric processes to days in land processes and even millions of years in geological processes. Monitoring of natural resources therefore deals with monitoring of a changing earth surface cover. Even when observing geological processes, the observational environment still changes by the minute. \n\nIn this course, remote sensing is applied for monitoring changes in land cover and land use, covering both system drivers (e.g., changes in land use) and response variables. Attention is given to linking the physical world with ethical and social considerations, environment and social aspects of technology, consulting different stakeholders in the management of the resources.
