The APECS Field Schools Network aims to create a community of connected field schools concerned with the polar regions, the cryosphere, and climate change. All education levels are encouraged; most APECS members are undergraduate to postdoc, but schools designed for secondary students or early faculty are encouraged to participate as well. See below for a simple list of field school details, or check out the menu on the left to find out about APECS Field Schools, recurring field schools, and one-off field programs. All schools are tagged with 'Secondary,' 'Undergrad,' 'Postgrad,' and 'Postdoc' to show their intended audience - just search for those most applicable to you. Or, search 'grad' to get both Undergrad and Postgrad or 'post' to get both Postgrad and Postdoc.
Each school has commenting enabled to allow the APECS community to share their field school experiences - feel free to include links to photos and videos, too! More importantly, login to the site to see a list of past participants that you can contact!
If you have suggestions on how to stay better connected as a group and share experiences with other field school groups, or if you are an organizer of a field school and are interested in joining our network, please contact APECS Field Schools Coordinator Graham Simpkins.
| Summer Programs and Expedition Training in Interdisciplinary Arctic and Mountain Earth Systems Science | |
| When: | Annually, around July 1 - August 24 depending on the length of field season. |
| Where: | Juneau Icefield, Alaska; British Columbia and Yukon Territory, Canada. |
| Who: | Student and professional scientists participate in an interdisciplinary study of the Juneau Icefield, the fifth largest icefield in the Western Hemisphere. Although students typically comprise undergraduate and graduate students, a few high-aptitude High School Juniors and Seniors and some visiting post-doctoral scientists are also involved. |
| What: | The program provides education and field training of earth system sciences to students and scientists through field research and classroom training. These activities help maintain the longest continuous research program of any glacier in the western hemisphere, and contribute to the monitoring of Alaskan glaciers and their sensitivity to climate change. |
