I am looking for information on advanced courses in English that would be open for graduate or post-graduate level foreign students. This would be interesting for students specializing on climate reconstruction, past climate dynamics, current issues of climatology, and so on. Is there any web-sites listing such activities?
The Urbino summer school in Italy has an extremely good reputation, and all of the details (including course content and logistics) are on their website: http://www.urbinossp.it/
I don't know of others, but I hope that is helpful.
There are field weeks for tree-ring analysis that cover dendroclimatology in the US and EU. These are great ways to get a quick introduction to field and statistical methods related to climate reconstruction. It looks like the EU version (26th European Dendroecological Fieldweek) was in Poland this past summer. There may be a new one scheduled for 2016.

The US field week will be in Washington in 2016:

As far as I know there will be Dendro field week in Slovenia, exact date is not specified yet (I'm one of the organisers).
Thanks James, Jane and Tom! This is very helpful information.

Penn State University under its Sustainable Climate Risk Management program organizes summer school annually, you can check here: http://scrimhub.org/
Maybe you would also be interested in the ACDC (Advanced Climate Dynamics Courses) summer school organized by Universities in Norway and the USA. Great summer school with focus on present and past climate. Please find examples of the last years schools and a bit of information on the website:

Thank you all! This seems very useful information for us interested in opportunities for advanced education in the rather narrow field of study.
