Please register via email [Inge.Clos@iup.uni-heidelberg.de] and provide the following informations:

• Short description of your background and special interests.
• Which part you want to attend (Soil Physics and/or Atmosphere)

Access to the UFS:   From Garmisch-Partenkirchen you can reach "Eibsee" by train ("Zugspitzbahn") or by car via the village of Grainau (where you can also find a hotel in case you arrive the day before). At "Eibsee" you can take either the Cogwheel Train (travel time 45 min) or the Eibsee and Gletscher Cable Cars  (travel time 20 min) to reach the Tourist Station "SonnAlpin". From  there, you reach the UFS after a 10 min walk (partly with a gentle grade).  At the beginning of the Summerschool we meet at "SonnAlpin" on Monday 26.7. (soil physics) or .2.8. (atmosphere) at  9:00.
