Every winter, we organize a training on Snow and Atmosphere at Col du Lautaret in the French Alps for the master Earth Sciences at University Grenoble Alpes (UGA).

This year, the tra ining is open to 8 international students at master level or beginning of t heir PhD.

The prog ram comprises field work by group of 3 persons (6-7h/day) and lectures (1h/ day) on the following topics:

- snow stratigraphy in snowpits, snow metamorphism (2x 0.5 day)
- s now thermal regime (0.5 day).
- snow albedo and surface energy budget, micro-meteorology (0.5 day).
- snow depth distribution by GPR and DGP S and data processing (3x 0.5 day).
- atmospheric ozone (0.5 day).
- snow optics (0.5 day).
- data processing and interpretation (0.5 d ay)

The training will be he ld 28 February – 5 March 2022 (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).

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.

To apply, please send us an email with CV, details of your master curricu lum and motivations before 1 December 2021. We will give a respons e within 3 weeks.
