CATCHMENT SCIENCE SUMMER SCHOOL

We held our 14^th Annual Catchment Science Summer School between 3^rd September and the 8^th September. This short course is intended for Post Graduate students and Post Docs interested in a hands-on Catchment Science curriculum, focusing on runoff processes and combined hydrometric, isotope/chemical tracer and modelling techniques in catchment hydrology. https://water.usask.ca/hillslope/teaching/catchment-summer-school/home.php

This year we hosted a total of 29 students, who participated in lectures and classes by Prof. McDonnell, Prof. David Hannah and Prof. Stefan Krause from UoB and other guest lecturers. Welcome drinks and poster presentations started off the week and students were invited to attend the Lapworth Museum for this welcome and introduction.

Classes were then held at the IGI Building (54 Pritchatts Road) and with unusually hot weather the entire week, students enjoyed the wonderful open space back garden that allowed them to break out and have further discussions in the sunshine. Students also visited the Plynlimon catchment in Wales for an exciting field day of lectures and learning in the field.  We received excellent positive feedback from students regarding the course and we look forward to holding the Catchment Science Summer School again next year.
