Taking the opportunity of the “Aerosol and Cloud experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE_ENA)” campaign, which is bringing to the Azores a group of scientists to study processes in the maritime atmosphere, the University of the Azores (through IITAA at the Faculty of Agrarian and Environmental Sciences), the University of Lisbon (through Institute Dom Luiz at the Faculty of Sciences), the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) and the ACE_ENA team offer a 1 week workshop/summer_course on earth-system processes. The course will look at the Azores region as a natural laboratory for Earth studies, where the atmosphere, the ocean, the geosphere and the biosphere interact, defining the local climate but also constraining climate on the global scale.

There is no registration fee. However, students are required to cover their travel/accommodation expenses.

The EARTHSYSTEMS PhD program will support a number of students from the University of Lisbon.

Applications to Ricardo Serpa - Applicants should send a short motivation letter, and (optionally) the title of a short (10 min) presentation to present at the course.

Applications close 1 June 2017.
