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 APECS Field Schools Coordinator Graham Simpkins.

- TITLE:
- 18th International Sedimentological Congress 2010
- WHEN:
- 26.09.2010 - 01.10.2010
- WHERE:
- Mendoza
- Category:
- Conferences, Meetings, and Workshops of Interest to Polar Researchers
DESCRIPTION
The 18th International Sedimentological Congress will be held in Mendoza, Argentina between 26th September and 1st October 2010.
Full conference details are at http://www.isc2010.com.ar/
One session APECS members may be particularly interested in is:
SS-10 Glacial sediments and peat bogs
Co-organisers: J. Rabassa (Centro Austral de Investigaciones Científicas, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) and N.F. Glasser (Aberystwyth Univ., UK)
We invite submissions to a Special Symposium on glacial sediments and peat bogs. Glacial sediments and peat bogs are widely distributed across the Andes and both are valuable palaeoenvironmental archives. We are interested in submissions from the full range of sedimentary environments, from terrestrial mountain environments to coastal and deep-marine glacial systems as well as site-specific descriptions of glacial sediments, peat bogs and their stratigraphy. Key themes include, but are not restricted to, subglacial and proglaciotectonic deformation of sediments, facies distribution in relation to different tectonic and climatic regimes, specific controversial glacial landforms and their interpretation, the role of ice-bed processes in controlling glacier dynamics and sedimentation, evaluations of glacial processes using geological (geophysical, geomorphological and sedimentological) evidence, reconstructions of past ice-sheet basal thermal and hydrological characteristics, ice-sheet dynamics and the manner in which debris is entrained, modified during glacial transport and deposited. General contributions to Andean glacial sedimentology and stratigraphy and studies of how modern glacial environments can aid interpretation of the ancient geological record are also welcome, as are studies that use glacial sediments and peat bogs as geochronological and palaeo-environmental indicators.
Deadline for abstract submission: 30th April 2010
