Aim and motivation
The Summer School on Mountain Meteorology (SSMM) was conceived as an opportunity for students, young researchers and people involved in meteorological applications to attend lectures offered by highly qualified scientists and focused on atmospheric processes specific to the mountain environment.
Many meteorological processes are specifically determined by the effect on the atmosphere of complex terrain at different scales. In order to improve the understanding of such processes, various research projects have been done in recent years and many meetings, workshops and conferences have been organized by the scientific community to share and discuss recent advances. The SSMM is an opportunity for young researchers and meteorologists to share knowledge gained in the field of mountain meteorology through direct contact with senior scientists.
The Center for Advanced Studies of Hydrogeological Risk of Mountain Areas
(CUDAM) has been acknowledged as a centre of excellence for research and education in environmental science and engineering by the Italian Ministry of University and Scientific Research in 2001.
