99516 - FLOODS AND WATER RESOURCES IN A CHANGING CLIMATE

Academic Year 2026/2027

Learning outcomes

Students will learn the scientific basis of the water cycle with specific focus on the propagation of climate change to changes in water related hazards. They will learn how changes in the water resources availability can be mitigated, how adaptation may be carried out and how mitigation and adaptation interact with each other. Students will learn what we know and what we still do not know about climate and water. They will also know what contribution they can give to resolve the climate challenge in both their roles of citizens and experts, with specific reference on the impact of water changes. The approach will be interdisciplinary with the aim to move to transdisciplinarity, namely, by setting the basis for an innovative scientific and technical approach.
