The field school is a part of the International Partnerships for Excelle nce in Education and Research (INTPART) project, Arctic Field Summ er Schools: Norway-Canada-USA Collaboration.
Through a ser ies of summer schools, this project engages graduate students in exploring science questions related to understanding the cryosphere, cryosphere chang e, and impacts of change on people and ecosystems. Students are exposed to the use of data derived from remote sensing platforms, as well as airborne and ground-based sensors and methods.
Specific objectives of the summ er schools include introduction to and application of cutting-edge approach es and methods in interdisciplinary remote sensing and field-based research . In previous years, the field schools have focused on sea ice, lake ice, a nd snow in the Svalbard area and from NW Alaska. This year the field school will occur at the Kluane Lake Research Station< /a> in southwest Yukon, Canada. Efforts will be directed toward field methods and analysis of data on glaciers and permafrost, and a synthesis of information from prior schools to produce a state of knowledge assessment on the impacts of climate change on the cryosphere, ecosystems, and the peo ple in these areas. The field school will advance the current state of know ledge and identify emerging issues in cryosphere research, with a focus on user needs for cryospheric data and information.
This opportunity is open to U.S.-based graduate students enrolled at U.S. universities. The int ernational partners will advertise separately.
