The Hydro-JULES project will be running a Summer School from 11th - 15th July 2022. This will be a fantastic opportunity to bring together a small group of undergraduate and post-graduate students, and early-career scientists from all over the globe to refine their skills in land-surface and hydrological prediction. The school will teach introduce cutting edge developments in the fields of water and the environment, land surface science, water resources, ecology, hydrometeorology, biogeochemistry and other related research areas. Students will develop an understanding of the principles of hydrological systems at large catchment, continental, and global scales, and be able to apply it in local projects all round the world.

Coordinated and delivered via an online platform the Summer School will feature keynote talks by a cross-section of Hydro-JULES scientists, as well as three Virtual Field Trips to learn more about high-performance computing, remote-controlled river sampling and eddy covariance measurements using a flux tower.

The following key note talks will be available to the scientific community as part of our public outreach programme.
