The Department of Earth System Science at Tsinghua University runs this international summer school in Beijing. The 2026 edition focused on complexity and Earth system science for enrolled undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students worldwide.
Participants studied complex-systems theory, nonlinear dynamics, stability and resilience, Earth-system tipping transitions, and social-ecological-technological systems. Teaching connected these foundations with climate change, water cycles, ecosystem evolution, extreme events, and artificial intelligence, alongside group research and final presentations.
