Report of GLOMAR PhD student Nick Rackebrandt about his participation in the 5th Urbino Summer School in Paleoclimatology – Past ClimateReconstruction and Modeling Techniques in Urbino, Italy, 14 July - 4 August 2008
Due to the financial support of GLOMAR I was able to participate in the 5th Urbino Summer School in Paleoclimatology – Past Climate Reconstruction and Modeling Techniques – from July 14th to August 4th in Urbino, Italy. The summer school was focused on the evolution and dynamics of Cretaceous and Cenozoic climate and covered a broad spectrum of methods to reconstructed paleoclimate and climate modeling. Its curriculum was designed for advanced M. Sc. Students, PhD students
and early career academic and industry staff. More than 50 students from around the world participated this year in Urbino and most of the lecturers of the summer school
were leading scientists on their field of research.
The curriculum of the summer school comprised a combination of lectures, exercises on real IODP data, a student group project and a fieldtrip to classic Italian
stratigraphic sections as well as three evening key note lectures. Additional a workshop was included during the second week of the summer school. This workshop gave an insight into the current research of the invited scientist who were presenting recent and unpublished data of there work. Me and most of the other students of the summer school used the opportunity to present our own research during the workshop in a poster session. It was an excellent chance to discuss my project with students and scientist. I got several interesting comments on my poster and PhD project and was able to talk to other students who work on topics relevant
for my own research.
With its duration of three weeks and the large number of lecturers staying in Urbino the summer school comprises additional to the lectures a great social component. It is a place for scientific discussions between scientists and students in an informal way and provides perfect conditions for young scientists for socializing within the paleoclimate community. I can totally recommend the Urbino Summer School to every student who is working in the field of paleoclimate.
Everybody who is interested in more information or a view into the thick folder of lecture material, please feel free to contact me.
