The University Centre in Svalbard is pleased to announce the 2011
International Polar Year (IPY) Polar Field School. The field school will
be held 20 June - 8 July 2011 in Svalbard, Norway.
The course will address environmental change in the Arctic and Antarctic
through a series of lectures and field excursions. The program is
interdisciplinary and includes geology, glaciology, meteorology,
terrestrial/marine biology, permafrost, and the human dimension in the
polar regions, with particular focus on research conducted during IPY
2007-2009.
The course is hosted by the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) and is
open to undergraduate and early graduate students. The registration fee
is low, and some funding is available for travel support. This is a
fantastic opportunity to be exposed to, and to be a part of, polar
research in a high-arctic environment.
Application deadline: Friday, 1 April 2011.
