Divecha Centre for Climate Change at Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru is all set to conduct training on Aerosols and Climate from December 11, 2023, to December 22, 2023. 

The program include lectures by eminent scientists/experts and practical/tutorial sessions on scattering models, radiative transfer models, instruments and satellite remote sensing. The topices include - Basic of Aerosols, Atmospheric scattering due to Aerosols, scattering models; radiative transfer through the atmosphere (with emphasis on the effect of aerosols); simple radiative transfer models; training on advanced aerosol instrumentation and so on.

"Despite the general consensus among scientists on the significant role of aerosols on regional and global climate, various studies and impact assessments provide widely differing and contrasting inferences and projections. Viewed in the above global backdrop, the South Asian region and India assume special significance due to the diverse geographical features, high population density, rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, leading to highly complex aerosol system. Aerosols and their climate impacts are the topics of this training programme," said the official notification.

Eligibility requirement incudes Post Graduate (M.Sc, M.Tech, M.E) and PhD students from recognized institutes/universities. Divecha Centre for Climate Change is also organising national conference on Himalayan Cryosphere, from November 22, 2023, to November 23, 2023. Today is the last date to register for the conference.

The Divecha Centre for Climate Change was established in January 2009 at Indian Institute of Science with a financial support from Arjun and Diana Divecha and the Grantham Foundation for the protection of the environment. The primary goal of this centre is to understand climate variability and climate change and its impact on the environment. The Centre has undertaken outreach activities to create awareness among people and policy makers about climate change and its consequences.
