Data Analysis for Climate and Climate Change Studies

(15 ? 19 August 2011)

Climate change is no longer a scientific curiosity, it is a reality now with direct impact in various sectors of the society, namely, in economy, health and safety, food production, security, and other dimensions of human aspects. Climate change is the global challenge today, and is one of the burning issues in Nepal as well. It is, therefore, of utmost importance to understand climate change and quantify it so that it can be applied in various relevant disciplines. The training on "Data Analysis for Climate and Climate Change Studies" is expected to make the trainees understand and analyze the climatic data which will help to broaden their knowledge in the field of climate change and at the same time effectively use the tools in their works.
