Overview

The course on “Ecology and Climate” change will focus on the interactions of climate change, soils and water in headwatersheds. Climate change will change soil processes quite drastically. As a result, aquatic ecosystems’ resilience is also affected because these are closely linked to soils. As an interdisciplinary project the summer school will deal with ecological, socio-cultural and economic aspects of climate change. There will be an important hands-on component where we will learn field and lab methods. The summer school will be organised jointly with the Eco2adapt and Microeco projects as a collaboration of the Universities of Eastern Finland, the University of Belgrade (Serbia), CATIE (Costa-Rica) and the Zhejiang A&F (China) Universities.

NB! Course is organized in Joensuu, Finland. Remote/online participation is not possible.
