climate change
This MOOC is a must to accomplish in order to better grasp the findings related to the climate change influence on the Earth system on a regional scale as acknowledged by the Swiss scientific community.
Yet another detailed element stemming from global climate change.
a must need for those who want our Earth or human life to be protected from Climate Change!
I hope acknowledgement helps to avoid or reduce negative effect of climate change.
Climate change is likely to increase this exposure, as extreme events such as storms, landslides, avalanches, and rockfalls are expected to become more common and more intense in mountain areas, threatening both livelihoods and infrastructure.
it was wonderful experience to learn about climate change ,also the various evidences and indicators,which helps us to make a action.
Climate change will likely modify seasonal and overall water availability and, as a result, there will be increased competition for water.
This course provides very good comprehensive knowledge of climate change risks in mountain.
Very helpfull in understanding the climate changes around us.
Very useful course to understand the climate change scenario on mountainous region.
the groundwater recharge process, hazards related to climate change, glaciology etc.
Knowledge of measures to reduce risks of climate change on these regions was also very interesting and well explained.

difficult to understand
The teachers have accents that can be difficult to understand, and all the lessons from Dr Rohrer are pointless, as he doesn't explain anything.
The english of the presenters is often difficult to understand, and the subtitles are sometimes incorrect.

water resources
Climate change in the mountain regions studied in this course are leading to modifications in quantity and timing of water resources that have potentially significant ramifications for water governance and management.
But the questions was tuff enough.Thank you :) I have been looking for a fresh start in the field of application of water resources and prevention from the disasters related to it.
