Autumn School: Atmospheric measurements using miniaturised sensors and drones

The Cyprus Institute’s Center of Excellence for Climate and Atmosphere Research (CARE-C) is organising the Autumn School on “Atmospheric measurements using miniaturised sensors and drones” from 30 October until 3 November.

The course, which will be held at the Cyprus Institute campus in Nicosia, focuses on both practical and theoretical approaches in miniaturised sensors and drone technologies.

Short lectures on relevant topics (atmospheric sciences, drones, sensors) will be given during the first day. On the second day, working groups will have a chance to participate in test flights and collect data that will be further analysed and reported during the rest of the course. The course will conclude with a written report that will be returned after the course.

“The aim of the course is to teach the students the whole cycle of scientific field work, from how to design measurements, collect data, analyse data to publishing a report of the experimental work and data,” CARE-C said.

This intensive course is suitable for both M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in atmospheric and Earth system sciences. The course workload, including the final report, is equivalent to 3 ECTS (75h).

There are no registration fees for participation in this course. Complimentary lunch will be provided to autumn school students during the course. However, students are expected to organise and cover their own travel and accommodation, and any other expenses relating to their stay in Nicosia. A shuttle bus transferring students from/to the Cyprus Institute campus from/to the centre of Nicosia will be available for free.

To participate in the Autumn School, potential students are required to submit an application through the Autumn School online form.

All applications will be reviewed by the Autumn School scientific committee, after the application deadline has passed.

Application deadline: 8 September 2023.
