Weather and climate simulations require highly optimized software that runs efficiently on modern supercomputers. This course introduces fundamental programming methods and performance engineering tools used to develop and optimize such models. The course combines lectures, practical exercises, and a team-based project.

Introduction of the basic principles of the design and operation oftransport systems (road, rail, air) and of the essential pathways of theirimpacts (investment, generalised costs, accessibilities, external effects), referring to relatively constant, and factors with substantial future uncertainty, in the past and expected evolution of transport systems.
