*This year’s Summer School will take place from September 10 through
September 19 2018in Potsdam, Germany. It will address these central
questions:*



·         Why is the earth surface system dynamic?

·         What are the triggers for dynamic processes?

·         What are possible societal adaptation strategies for sustainable
land management?



The fifth summer school event will explore the terrestrial earth surface
system which is driven by geological, biological and climatic forces. They
form a complex system of closely coupled processes and feedbacks that are
not yet sufficiently understood. Knowledge of these interactions is
essential since the earth´s surface is the foundation for all human
activity. Its dynamics have an impact on all facets of life, habitability
and sustainability.



With its overarching theme - “THE SKIN OF OUR PLANET – THE EARTH SURFACE
SYSTEM” - the Potsdam Summer School will continue the transdisciplinary and
interactive event series that has been held annually in Potsdam since 2014.
The intense ten-day, multi-faceted programme will help participants to
acquire transdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of the processes
which are shaping the earth´s vulnerable skin – our habitat. They will be
engaged in discussions and group works on these key issues.

The aim is to bring together talented early-career scientists and young
professionals operating in the private sector, governmental agencies and
non-governmental organisations from many different parts of the world to
discuss frontier (research) questions on future sustainable development.
Participants are expected to form part of a new generation of researchers
and practitioners with the necessary background and tools to evaluate and
mitigate the effects of present-day and future environmental change. In
this context, the Potsdam Summer School provides a unique opportunity for
all participants to foster international cooperation and an
interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.
