Analyze impacts of global change on rivers ecosystems, develop skills related to synthesizing and interpreting lit ...
ENV-412: Microbial ecologyThe course will focus on fundamental concepts of microbial ecology and environmental microbiology, with emphasis on bacteria and archaea, although fungi, algae, and protists will also be covered. ...
ENV-418: River eco-morphodynamics and bioengineeringThe course deals with the interactions between hydraulics, solid transport by hauling and the watercourse space at the origin of the morphology and richness of habitats. Regime theory is presented and the quality of a stream's habitat is assessed. ...
PENS-219: Hidden riversHidden Rivers aims at fulfilling the need for an interdisciplinary understanding of the problematics surrounding urban streams, through ecological, hydrological, and spatial relationships found in riverscapes. ...
PENS-225: RhonescapeRHONEscape aims at realizing the necessary interdisciplinary educational background of the problematics affecting highly-corrected large rivers, by examining riverine ecological, hydrological and morphological spatial features with new methods of conceivin ...
ENV-103: BiologyThis course will cover the fundamental principles governing life and the living world. Topics will include the diversity of living organisms, cellular biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology. This course provides a foundation in biology, fostering critic ...
ENV-411: Ecohydrological modelingThis course provides the theoretical basis for understanding and modeling the interactions between the hydrologic cycle, vegetation, soil, climate, and human society. ...
ENG-410: Energy supply, economics and transitionThis course examines energy systems from various angles: available resources, how they can be combined or substituted, their private and social costs, whether they can meet the energy demand, and how the transition to a renewable energy system can be foste ...
MGT-425: Strategic management of innovationThe purpose of this course is to describe innovation and how it impacts business dynamics. It also aims to teach students how to think strategically and holistically about technological innovation, new product development and market deployment. ...
AR-154: Environmental history and theories ILe cours vise a familiariser les etudiants avec l'histoire de l'environnement et des paysages, et avec la maniere dont les preoccupations environnementales amenent a repenser aujourd'hui le sens et les principes de l'architecture et des disciplines de pr ...
ENV-800: Ecohydrology: From field data to process modelingEcohydrology investigates the effects of hydrological processes on ecosystems, as well as in turn the effects of biotic processes on the water cycle. The Summer School will focus on three aspects of ecohydrology â process understanding, novel measurement ...
MGT-534: Strategic partnershipStrategic partnerships is about better understanding the lifecycle of alliances and ecosystems.It concerns how to strategize, scout, structure, start, and steer strategic partnerships to maximize trust and ultimately company performance. ...
ENV-306: EcotoxicologyEcotoxicology aims to understand the impact of chemicals and other stressors on organisms in the environment with a particular focus on population-, community- and ecosystem effects. Based on a mechanistic understanding, the ultimate goal is to be able to ...
ENV-426: Fluvial biogeosciencesStream and river ecosystems are increasingly deteriorated owing to global change and climate change. Students will understand basic physical, chemical and biological processes in streams and rivers, and how they relate to ecosystem health and integrity . ...
AR-801: Transects through alpine water landscapesThrough field expeditions, keynote lecture, discussion, workshops, and exchanges with experts, participants will contribute to the production of a synthetic "transect" across a continuous water landscape, from the Aletsch glacier to the Rhone valley floor, ...
AR-619: Designing cities in a changing worldThis course develops, within the urban domain, a critical review of challenges/opportunities of the One Health concept, based on the inexorable link between human, animal, and ecosystem health. ...
