PhD in Weather Related Risk (WRR): Applications Open

The 2016/2017 edition of the Weather-Related Risk (WRR) curriculum of the PhD Programme in Understanding and Managing Extremes (UME) is being offered by the UME Graduate School of the IUSS Pavia. The WRR Programme covers the domain of risks linked to hydro-meteorological extremes.
The objective of the Programme is to examine the physics of the processes related to extreme hydro-meteorological events and the impact of climate change on their occurrence rate and on their intensity. Another objective is the investigation of techniques for devising meaningful damage and risk scenarios, and for identifying efficient risk mitigation strategies. The "soil/atmosphere" specialisation area intends to form experts in the sector of flood, landslide, drought and forest fire risk, while the "ocean/atmosphere" specialisation area has its main focus on the assessment and mitigation of risk posed by the effects of hurricanes and extra-tropical cyclones, such as wind, rain, and storm surges.
Applications are currently open, with a deadline of April 12th 2016, and 11 scholarships are available for the highest ranking applicants. Full details of the programme, as well as the application procedure and scholarship opportunities, can be found at www.umeschool.it/wrr/applications/
