\nThe ocean has a central role in Earth’s c limate system\, but also for how climate change affects humans. The vast m ajority of the anthropogenically added energy is stored as heat energy in the ocean\, the biological carbon pump extracts gigatons of CO2 from the a tmosphere and next to the issue of global warming\, ocean acidification an d sea-level rise are two fundamental marine facets of rapid environmental change. At the same time\, half of the human populations on Earth lives cl ose to the coast and their interaction with the marine environment is one of the tightest connections between humans and nature.
\nIn Septembe
r 2024\, UOL will host a two day symposium on “Climate\, People and the
Ocean”\, which among others will include scientific sessions with eminen
t speakers\, art-science interventions and workshops. We offer this unique
PhD course to prepare and conduct these workshops with an explicit focus
on questions relevant to early career researchers. We will start with an i
nterdisciplinary series of lectures from natural and social sciences that
will pave the way for a 1-day retreat (on July 11th\, 2024\, where we will
plan the workshop within the Oldenburg symposium (2 slots\, 1.5 hours eac
h on 10. and 11.9.2024). Both speakers and attendants of the scientific se
ssions will take part in the workshop.
Learning Aims<
/strong>
• Advanced understanding of climate change consequences f
or the ocean and their feedback to human wellbeing
• Practical pla
nning of workshop with international and national scientists including for
mulation of aims\, development of content and learning methods for discuss
ion and result capture
• Moderation of Scientific Discussions
Schedule
May/June: Video lectures: Basic knowledge and advanced topics (Hillebrand\, Wurl\
, Pahnke.\, et al.)
Lectures are provided as videos and discussed in
a flipped classroom format. Thereby each PhD student will work in their o
wn pace to watch the videos. Each video is 45-60 min\, we aim for ca 6 lec
tures. A full list of lectures and link to the videos will be provided end
of April 2024.
We will use a datefinder to select a 2-hr slot for a
Q&\;A session including the lecturers and PhD students. In this online
Flipped Classroom date\, we will discuss open questions\, hard to grasp c
ontent.
July 11\, 2024: \; Planning re
treat (Hillebrand &\; Garcia)
The actual planning of the workshop
will take place on July 11th 2024 at HIFMB\, Ammerländer Heerstrasse 231
(room Neue Empore in the 4th floor). The content is the joint elaboration
of
i) which aims we as a group have for the workshop\,
\nii ) which methods are useful to achieve the aims\, and
\niii) which ta sks we can distribute among group members (moderators\, rapporteurs\, subg roup leads).
