This week's webinar (on Tuesday, 26 October 2010) is entitled "Planning
and Coordinating Field Work Logistics" and will be led by Torre
Jorgenson, Senior Scientist at ABR Environmental Research and Services.
In this webinar participants will be given tips on working in extreme
arctic and Antarctic conditions, and insight regarding what types of
things to consider when planning and coordinating fieldwork logistics in
polar regions. Since every country has specific requirements, the
webinar will focus on overall guidance for fieldwork.
