We are is pleased to announce the second field school as a part of the < em>International Partnerships for Excellence in Education and Research (INT PART) project “Arctic Field Summer Schools: Norway-Canada-USA collaboration ”. The second field school is organized by the University of Alaska Fa irbanks and is tentatively planned for May 29 to June 9, 2018.
The “Arctic Field Summer School” is primarily funded by the Rese arch Council of Norway (NFR) and the Norwegian Centre for International Coo peration in Education (SIU), under grant agreement number 261786/H30 (http://cirfa.uit.no/intpart-project-to-cirfa-arctic-field-summer-school). The project supports research and education collaboration among UiT-th e Arctic University of Norway, the International Arctic Research Center (IA RC) of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), USA, and the University of Calgary (UC), Canada. Through a series of summer schools, the project enga ges graduate students in exploring science questions related to Arctic chal lenges.
During this second field school, students will participate an d learn about remote sensing and ground-based field observations in Utqiaġv ik, Alaska (formerly Barrow). The overall theme of the school is the study of processes of the Arctic coastal environment at the intersection between the marine, terrestrial, atmospheric and cryospheric environments using gro und-based and remote sensing observations. The course will be primarily bas ed in and near the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and will be condu cted in close collaboration with UIC Science (Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation ), where the participating students will receive introductory lectures and collect in-situ and remote sensing data to be analyzed in collaboration wit h their instructors. Students will formulate a project jointly with instruc tors and work on their project for the duration of the field school. The pa rticipating students will make an oral presentation and submit an individua l or group report at the end of the school, and will be able to earn credit s for participation based on an assessment of the work. The class will be o ffered as a two-credit UAF summer course and students willing to earn credi ts need to enroll for the class in advance.
Travel grants (amounts wi ll be determined later) will be issued by IARC to help offset or fully cove r travel costs to Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Alaska, as well as local costs and ac commodation. Please send your 1-page motivation letter that outlines how th is course fits into your graduate study and career plans, CV, and a recomme ndation letter from your supervisor.
Important: This opportunity is o pen only for US-based graduate students enrolled at US universities and the international partners will advertise separately.
