Objectives

-provide the theoretical basis for understanding why and how the climate varies in a given place over the course of a year, but also from one year to the next, and between different places close to or further away from each other.

- provide the practical basis for retrieving source data (event-driven, "normal" or historical), processing them (compiling tables, calculating averages/medians/extremes, producing graphs, etc.), interpreting them (physical, geographical/topographical, even macroclimatic processes) and their consequences (ecological, evolutionary).

- provide a useful basis for the perspective needed for their professional activity, but also in the face of media coverage and the democratization of the phenomenon of global climate change, and above all its effects and signs, "visible" or otherwise.

 

The course takes the form of 3 sequences. Each sequence is open to continuing education. The order of sequences may be modified according to the availability of external speakers.
