JIRP is an expeditionary field science school for undergraduate and earl y-stage graduate students interested in polar science. 30-35 students trave rse 110 km across the Juneau Icefield from Juneau, AK to Atlin, BC each sum mer, learning about field glaciology, geophysics, glacial geology, climatol ogy/meteorology and a number of other cryosphere-related topics from 20 fac ulty over two months. Students also gain glacier mountaineering, wilderness first aid, and other expeditionary training during this experience. We typ ically have six to eight focused research projects of current scientific in terest, led by faculty, in which students actively participate. Recent proj ects have focused on radio-glaciology and other geophysical studies, isotop e geochemistry, glacier mass balance, biogeochemistry, glacial geology, eco logy, and geomatics/remote sensing. Summer-long field research student proj ects supervised by the faculty will culminate in presentations at AGU or ot her similar meetings. More information and the online application form can be accessed at http://juneauicefield.c om/.
*The 2018 field season will run from June 19th to Au gust 16th.*
