Measuring and modelling mountain glaciers and ice caps in a changing climate (M³OCCA)

The Inter­na­tional Doc­torate Pro­gram will sub­stan­tially con­trib­ute to im­prov­ing our ob­serva­tion and meas­ure­ment capa­bili­ties of moun­tain glaci­ers and ice caps by creat­ing a unique inter- and trans-discipli­nary re­search and train­ing plat­form. The Inter­na­tional Doc­torate Pro­gram is a col­la­bora­tion of scien­tists from geog­raphy, geol­ogy, geo­phys­ics, com­puter sci­ences, elec­trical engi­neer­ing and math­emat­ics.

We will de­velop future tech­nolo­gies and trans­fer knowledge from other disci­plines into cli­mate and glaci­er re­search. The Inter­na­tional Doc­torate Pro­gram aims at edu­cating emerging tal­ents with an inter­disci­pli­nary vision as well as excel­lent tech­nical and soft skills. Our doc­toral re­searchers will be guid­ed by inter­disci­pli­nary, inter­na­tional teams com­pris­ing uni­versi­ty pro­fes­sors, senior scien­tists and emerging tal­ents from the partic­ipat­ing uni­versi­ties and exter­nal re­search organ­iza­tions.
