2.-5. Nov 2011 Guanting School - Training

The Guanting project invites Chinese PhD or master students and researchers to contribute to the integrated modelling of water and agricultural land use in the GUANTING WATERSHED under special consideration of climate change.

The disciplines involved are Climatology, Hydrology, Water Management, Agronomy, Freshwater Ecology, Economics, and Mathematics. English as working language is requested.

The individual project work is divided into four phases. In a first definition phase the working program will be specified. The definition will be supported by German scientists if necessary. In the working phase the selected task will be worked out.

In a third TRAINING PHASE, we will support all participants in their selected topics on site by hosting a training workshop in Nanjing. The participants will be trained by German scientists in topics related to climate and hydrology modeling.

The final publication phase is aimed to deliver a report as basis for a publication.
