• Understand the fundamentals of climatology, atmospheric circulation, natural modes of variability
  • Understand how climate models are built: what differences there are between global climate models and regional climate models? what observations are mobilized to evaluate those models?
  • Understand anthropogenic climate change: causes, facts, consequences, projections …. Based on latest IPCC reports
  • Manipulate climate change scenarios, and historical climate data: where do we find the information? How different are the climate models? Why accounting for multi-model when delivering information meant to be used for adaptation?
