Registration s urvey (required): https://tin yurl.com/quantarcticaegu
We’ll be using a case study approach, le ading attendees through the process of importing real Antarctic field data, analyzing it and deriving new information and insights with Quantarctica’s included data package, and producing a publication-quality figure or map. To take full advantage of this approach, we encourage attendees to have an understanding of basic GIS skills and concepts.
Please email me direc tly if you have any questions or concerns about the User Workshop or any ot her Quantarctica topics. We also encourage you to share this announcement w ith your Antarctic colleagues outside the cryosphere community. The Quantar ctica project strongly supports attendance by students and early-career res earchers – by far our most numerous and enthusiastic users!
