</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This Summer School will provide Ph.D. students and junior scientists specializing in sea level research with a basic introduction to the dynamics of current and future sea level change and to state-of-the-art tools to measure
and project it. The different contributors to global and regional sea level change will be presented by world-leading experts. The School has a strong component on “hands-on” learning, with practical exercises on the observation and modelling of sea level
change, its contributors, and forcing mechanisms. Participants will also receive a training on science communication.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">Scope</span></i></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">:
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This Summer School will cover the most important physical processes contributing to sea level change. The main focus is on the dynamics of these processes, how they are modelled, what the available constraints and current
model limitations are, and how they are used for sea level projections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
