SUMMARY:Winter Field Course for Snow Measurement
LOCATION:Kananaskis\, Canadian Rockies
DESCRIPTION:The NASA Snow Working Group-Remote Sensing offers The 4th Winter Field Cour
 se for Snow Measurement \nJanuary 5-9, 2017\nKananaskis, Canadian Rockies\n
 What: A course for serious students of snow, whether engaged in modeling, m
 easuring, or teaching about snow. The course will introduce students to sta
 ndard and specialized quantitative and qualitative measurements of snowpack
  characteristics, as well as how to conduct safe and efficient snow field c
 ampaigns. Over three full days we will provide fundamental training to stud
 ents in performing and analyzing snow measurements, including depth, densit
 y, snow water equivalence, grain size and shape, stratigraphy, temperature 
 and hardness. Students completing this course will be able to perform high-
 quality fieldwork as well as design studies requiring snowpack measurements
 , including those required during snow remote sensing calibration and valid
 ation campaigns. Class credit will be offered through the University of Sas
 katchewan.\nWhere: Barrier Lake Field Station, Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada 
 (about 45 minutes west of Calgary) with field work at Fortress Mountain in 
 the Canadian Rockies (see http://bgs.ucalgary.ca/facilities & https://w
 ww.youtube.com/watch?v=lmLND5EhL5w )\nWhen: January 5 - 9, 2017\nWho: Stude
 nts:\nThe course is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs
 , professionals and senior scientists, modelers and those who do snow remot
 e sensing that will either need to make snow measurements as part of their 
 research, or use snowpack data in their research. There are no prerequisite
 s, but students will be selected from the pool of applicants based on appli
 cability to their studies. Successful applicants will be notified by Decemb
 er 15, 2016. Students from any nation may apply. Applications are available
  at <a href="http://iswgr.org/fieldwork2017">http://iswgr.org/fieldwork2017
 </a>  and are due by December 1, 2016.\nWho: Instructors\nDr. Kelly Elder: 
 US Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station\nDr. Matthew Sturm: Geop
 hysical Institute, University of Alaska, Fairbanks\nDr. John Pomeroy, Direc
 tor, Centre for Hydrology, University of Saskatchewan\nDr. Jessica Lundquis
 t, Mountain Hydrology Research, University of Washington\nDr. Alexandre Lan
 glois, Centre d’applications et de recherches en télédétection, Université 
 de Sherbrooke\nDr. Nicholas Kinar, Centre for Hydrology, University of Sask
 atchewan\nHow: NASA funding for the course is pending (and expected in Octo
 ber) and student application/selection will start soon. Students will be re
 imbursed for travel, food, and lodging enroute the Barrier Lake field stati
 on, where lodging and meals will be provided. Travel expenses may include a
 irfare, taxi or bus for airport access, and shuttle from Calgary Airport (Y
 YC). Car rental will not be reimbursed. Receipts for all the above expenses
  should be kept and information about processing will be provided at the co
 urse. Please make every effort to minimize travel costs. Questions about ra
 tes, fees, and reimbursements should be sent to Cindy Brekke at NSIDC ( Thi
