The Summer Institute is supported by the Unive rsity of Toronto's Connaught Fund and builds on the Summer School program d eveloped by the NSERC CREATE Training Program in Arctic Atmospheric Science (CREATE-AAS). It is affiliated with three NSERC-funded networks: Probing t he Atmosphere of the High Arctic (PAHA), the Network on Climate and Aerosol s (NETCARE), and the Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution (CanSISE) Network. The Summer Institute spans the disciplines of physics, chemistry, earth sc iences, geography, environmental science, and related areas, and encompasse s the use of experimental, field observation, and modelling methodologies t o study the Arctic region.\nWe are pleased to invite applications for our t hird Connaught Summer Institute, offered from July 17 to 21, 2017 in Allist on, Ontario. It is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows engaged in Arctic research. It is open to students from across the Universi ty of Toronto, as well as from other institutions, both national and intern ational. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from experienced rese archers in a small and comfortable setting. Students will also participate in professional development activities; engage in a diverse career panel di scussion; develop strategies for linking scientific knowledge to public eng agement, education and outreach; and present their own research during a po ster session.\nTopics: This year, the program will be linked to the North2W arm initiative, which is examining the impact of 1.5°C or greater global wa rming on Canada’s North. Topics will include the Arctic climate system, obs erved changes, projected changes under different warming scenarios, and imp acts and adaptations underway and anticipated, as well as high-latitude cli mate dynamics, sea ice observations, lake/land–atmosphere interactions, atm ospheric composition, Arctic aerosols, permafrost engineering, climate mode lling, and more.\nSpeakers include Jonathan Abbatt (U Toronto), Lukas Arens on (BGC Engineering Inc.), Claude Duguay (U Waterloo), Steve Howell (Enviro nment and Climate Change Canada), Alexandra Jahn (U Colorado Boulder), Paul Kushner (U Toronto), Kent Moore (U Toronto), Kerri Pratt (U Michigan), Mic hael Sigmond (Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis, ECCC), an d Francis Zwiers (Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium).\nAdmission to the Su mmer Institute includes all on-site food and accommodation. A chartered bus will take attendees to and from downtown Toronto, however, attendees are r esponsible for travel between their home institution and Toronto or Allisto n.\nTo apply, please fill out the application form at http://www.candac.ca/ create/CSI_Arctic_science_application_form_2017.pdf.
