Field Schools Network
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 Allen Pope.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks is offering a summer field class on Alaska soil Geography from 5-13 July 2010.
Students in the course will study soil geography and soil forming factors such as parent material, landform, vegetation, climate, time, permafrost, and fire along ecological transect from boreal forest to arctic tundra in northern Alaska. The class emphasizes hands-on experiences excavating and sampling permafrost-affected soils anddiagnosing soil morphological properties. At each site, soil classification and land use interpretations such as infrastructure development and wetland will be discussed.
Participants are limited to 15 and each must provide their own camp gear, be able to walk on uneven or rocky ground, and be physically fit for fieldwork. Students must have previously completed course NRM F380 or a course in soils, or obtain permission of instructor.
Course cost for NRM 489 (undergraduate level) is $917, and course cost for NRM 689 (graduate level) $1074. Costs include a $750 field trip fee plus a one-credit fee at the corresponding level. The field trip fee includes the class guidebook, four days' camping and two days' lodging, and all meals from noon July 7 to noon July 13.
Online registration begins Monday, 1 March 2010.
