CH2M HILL Polar Services (CPS) announces an Aviation Land and Water
course in Anchorage, Alaska, on 3-4 March 2008. The two-day course
offers an intense look at methods and techniques for surviving aviation
accidents in the Arctic. Students are exposed to land and water crash
simulators to duplicate impact conditions, and receive "dunker" training
in a local pool with certified instructors. The course is facilitated by
Learn to Return (LTR) Training Systems (http://www.survivaltraining.com).
The course is open to twenty NSF-funded arctic researchers. This
includes principal investigators, graduate students, research
assistants, and undergraduate field assistants. The course is free of
charge for all qualified researchers. Travel assistance/per diem is
available for participants outside the local area of the course. CPS can
only accept attendees whose schedules allow them to attend all days of
the course. CPS will arrange and provide travel and accommodations for
course participants only, and will not arrange accommodations for
partners and/or families nor provide assistance with personal travel in
conjunction with the course.
Interested principal investigators should contact Angela Pagenkopp at:
angela [at] polarfield.com, with their name, affiliation, e-mail, current NSF
grant number, and the names of those who will accompany the
investigator.
