TAU
Neukom Director Dan Rockmore, in collaboration with colleugues at the Tel Aviv University established a summer workshop program at Dartmouth College in 2025. This program is a unique opportunity for graduate students from Tel Aviv University and Dartmouth College to participate in a groundbreaking workshop on the pressing issue of climate change and its global impacts. This workshop offers students a chance to learn from leading experts and to share their own research and engage in meaningful discussions with peers and faculty members.
As the impacts of climate change intensify across the globe, understanding and addressing its multifaceted effects has never been more crucial. This workshop will provide invaluable insights into how climate change is transforming our planet, from its influence on extreme weather events and the environment to its risks for ecosystems and human populations. Over the course of ten days, students will explore a wide range of topics, from climate change in extreme environments to its effects on agriculture, marine ecosystems, and natural disasters.
Throughout the workshop, students engage with renowned speakers from diverse fields from both institutions.
Topics, among others, include:
The impact of climate change on natural disasters and vulnerable populations: Discuss how global warming affects heat waves, droughts and wildfires, as well as floods and tropical storms, and how these changes are impacting the low-income countries the most.
Prediction of climate extremes using AI: Learn how to use state-of-the-art AI tools to predict extreme weather events.
Humanity's role in climate change: Delve into the anthropogenic impacts on global warming and learn how to disentangle it from the natural climate variability.
Global warming effects on agriculture and marine ecosystems: Explore climate change's effects on global agriculture and marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs and giant jellyfish swarms.
Exploring life beyond Earth: Consider the climate in other planets in our planetary system, as well as in exoplanets and evaluate their habitability.
