The program of the training school on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) modelling will include lectures and practical exercises aimed at investigating the interactions between solid Earth deformation, ice mass change, and associated sea-level and geoid variations.

Students will complete homework exercises utilizing freely available modelling software and will have the opportunity to spend one-to-one time with leading researchers in the GIA community while working throiugh examples in class. A field trip to examine records of land uplift and sea level change will be included. 

The course is targeted at individuals who are working on (or will soon start working on) GIA modelling, or topics directly related to GIA modelling. It is aimed at graduate students and early career scientists, but all interested parties are encouraged to apply regardless of age or experience level. An introduction to the fundamentals and applications of GIA modelling will be provided, no previous modelling experience is required.

The preliminary list of instructors is: Mike Bentley, Martin Ekman, Erik Ivins, Matt King, Glenn Milne, Frank Pattyn, Riccardo Riva, Giorgio Spada, Rebekka Steffen, Wouter van der Wal, Julia Wellner, Pippa Whitehouse, Doug Wiens, and Terry Wilson.

Deadline for applications is 31 March 2019. To apply visit www.polenet.org
