Dear colleagues,

this is the second announcement for the 25th session of ERCA (European Research Course on Atmospheres) that will take place in
Grenoble (& at the astronomical Observatory of Haute-Provence) from January 11th, 2017 to February 9th. The course is intended to students
enrolled in PhD programs, young scientists and engineers from universities and public/private research institutes wishing to

The 25th session of ERCA will specially explore the theme "from 25 years ago to 25 years forward" and will be organized around the following topics:

• atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric composition changes
• Earth climate system and the science of Climate change
• Earth Science system - Impact and society
• experimental techniques and research methodologies for the atmospheric sciences
• hydrology and precipitation: water cycle in climate change

It includes practical courses (lidar and other techniques for atmospheric observations) held at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (Southern France) and in Grenoble, and relies on a strong collective project centered on this years theme.

A number of speakers have confirmed their participation: Gael Giraud (keynote talk), Yinon Rudich, Peter Brimblecombe, Andreas Richter, Eugene Clothiaux, Markus Quante, Carlo Barbante, Ralf Ebinghaus, Yoav Yair, Filippo Giorgi, Philippe Kekhut, Anne Monod and Francis Codron
