SUMMARY:Snow and atmosphere field work training at Col du Lautaret, France, March 2022
LOCATION:Col du Lautaret
DESCRIPTION:<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: justify;">Every winter, we organize a <s
 trong>training on Snow and Atmosphere at Col du Lautaret in the French Alps
 </strong> for the master Earth Sciences at University Grenoble Alpes (UGA).
 </p><p lang="en-US" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This year, the tra
 ining is open to 8 international students at master level or beginning of t
 heir PhD.</strong></p><p lang="en-US" style="text-align: justify;">The prog
 ram comprises field work by group of 3 persons (6-7h/day) and lectures (1h/
 day) on the following topics:</p><p lang="en-US" style="text-align: justify
 ;">- snow stratigraphy in snowpits, snow metamorphism (2x 0.5 day)<br />- s
 now thermal regime (0.5 day).<br />- snow albedo and surface energy budget,
  micro-meteorology (0.5 day).<br />- snow depth distribution by GPR and DGP
 S and data processing (3x 0.5 day).<br />- atmospheric ozone (0.5 day).<br 
 />- snow optics (0.5 day).<br />- data processing and interpretation (0.5 d
 ay)</p><p lang="en-US" style="text-align: justify;">The training will be he
 ld <strong>28 February – 5 March 2022</strong> (Monday to Saturday included
 ), during the peak of the snow season. 13 local students from UGA will atte
 nd. The fees are 450€, and include the courses, basic accommodation in chal
 ets on site (Jardin alpin du Lautaret) and food (each group is responsible 
 for cooking for one day).</p><p lang="en-US" style="text-align: justify;">C
 ol du Lautaret is at the altitude of 2100m.a.s.l and climate conditions in 
 March can be harsh – with sustained -15°C and windy as in 2018 – or clement
  – 0°C and sunshine as in 2017. While all the field activities take place w
 ithin 200 m around the chalets, good health conditions, adequate clothing a
 nd some initial experience with mountain environment are a prerequisite. Ro
 ad access to the pass (and the training site) is occasionally closed for a 
 few hours to a full day during snowfall and storm, which may alter the prog
 ram or the end date.</p><p lang="en-US" style="text-align: justify;"><stron
 g>To apply, please send us an email with CV, details of your master curricu
 lum and motivations before 1 December 2021.</strong> We will give a respons
 e within 3 weeks.</p><p lang="en-US" style="text-align: justify;">Best rega
