Lectures, exercises and excursions serve as an introduction to atmospheric sciences, soil science and hydrology. Students gain a broad vision of the cutting edge topics that are being researched and studied at D-USYS and D-BAUG at ETH, Eawag, and WSL. This will be the base for a future dialog between the field of landscape architecture and the field of natural sciences and engineering.

The colloquium is a series of scientific talks by prominent invited speakers assembling interested students and researchers from around Zürich. Students take part of the scientific discussions.

The lecture provides an overview of climate change in Europe, from a physical and atmospheric science perspective. It covers the following topics:• observational datasets, observation and detection of climate change;• underlying physical processes and feedbacks;• numerical and statistical approaches;• currently available projections.
