SUMMARY:Snow Measurement Field School
LOCATION:Fraser Experimental Forest\, Fraser\, Colorado\, USA
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Application Deadline: September 15, 2017 by 5:00 p.m. EDT</stron
 g></p><p>CUAHSI is pleased to partner with the University of Washington, U.
 S. Forest Service, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, University of Colora
 do Boulder, and Universite de Sherbrooke to offer the Snow Measurement Fiel
 d School, a 3-day field school on making and analyzing snow measurements.</
 p><p><strong>Course Objectives:</strong></p><p>This course will give fundam
 ental training to students in making and analyzing snow measurements includ
 ing depth, density, water equivalence, grain size and shape, stratigraphy, 
 temperature and hardness. Students completing this course will be able to p
 erform high-quality fieldwork and design studies making snowpack measuremen
 ts.</p><p>By the end of the course, students should be able to do the follo
 wing:</p><ul><li>Excavate and prepare a snow pit.</li><li>Measure profiles 
 of density, snow temperature, grain size, and hardness.</li><li>Characteriz
 e stratigraphy and layering, snow surface roughness, and snow grain types.<
 /li><li>Use a Federal snow sampler, an avalanche probe, a Magnaprobe, and o
 ther snow measurement equipment.</li><li style="text-align: left;">Design t
 heir own experiment for sampling snow based on specific scientific objectiv
 es<br /><br /></li></ul><p><strong>Eligibility</strong></p><p>The course is
  aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, professionals and
  senior scientists, modelers and remote sensers that will make snow measure
 ments as part of their research, or use snowpack data in their research. Th
 ere are no required prerequisites, but students should be physically able t
 o spend days outside being active in the snow.</p><p><strong>How to Apply</
