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.
The UK Polar Network will be holding a mentoring session for early career scientists at this years International Glaciological Society’s British Branch meeting at Aberystwyth University. The panel consists of recognised academics and leading polar/glacial researchers across a range of disciplines in cryospheric science. The session will provide a rare opportunity for early career scientists to pose questions to our mentoring panel relating to career paths and future employment. Previous sessions have been highly informative with excellent feedback from both the audience and the mentors.
The IGS British Branch meeting is to be held by the Centre for Glaciology at Aberystwyth University between 15th and 17th September 2010, with the mentoring session running alongside the AGM on the afternoon of Thursday 16th.
We send out a warm invitation to all (early career) scientists to join us at this event.
