Conducting a climate study
This seminar is intended for all students who want to learn how to work scientifically using the example of environmental meteorology on the basis of their own investigation question. The investigation questions to be worked on can be freely chosen according to interest with reference to ASL and can include, for example, the following topics: How can a design be microclimatically optimized?

What materials, vegetation types, etc. can reduce thermal loads in outdoor spaces? What temperature variability occurs in a given landscape space? Which measures are effective for climate change adaptation?
In this seminar, we will go through the typical steps of scientific work based on a specific question with the goal of developing a research strategy in the form of a proposal. The seminar is divided into these steps:
Basic principles of science, scientific publishing & peer review, literature search and management, research question and hypotheses, overview of methods in environmental meteorology such as measurements and modeling, analysis and evaluation methods, figures, tables and visualizations, and scientific writing style.
The seminar uses the method of the Flipped Classroom, in which the essential contents are worked out digitally via video and texts at home and the application and testing of the contents happens together in the seminar.
