Field Schools Network

louise_john_crazy_poseThe 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.

DESCRIPTION

Students on Ice University Expedition: February 12-28, 2011

SOI group shotWelcome and thank you for your interest in the Students on Ice University Expedition 2011.

This ship-based expedition offers prospective students the opportunity to enroll in one of several University-level field courses, and experience one of the most exceptional places on Earth. We will use an interdisciplinary approach to examine the uniqueness of the Antarctic continent, its political, scientific and exploration history. 

Once in Antarctic waters, all students will make frequent field trips to the Antarctic mainland via Zodiac inflatables from the main ship. These landings will be supplemented by lectures, seminars and lab exercises in dedicated space aboard our expedition vessel, the M/V Ushuaia

The expedition will have approximately 70 participating University students, and 20 University faculty, scientists, experts, and educators. Undergraduate and graduate students from around the world and from any University can apply to participate.

Read about the whole expedition, including travel details, academics, and how to apply here.
