Applications are invited for the 2017 Connaught Summer Institute in Arctic Science: Atmosphere, Cryosphere, and Climate
The Connaught Summer Institute in Arctic Science: Atmosphere, Cryosphere, and Climate brings together students and scholars who are engag ed in Arctic research, to provide an understanding of the Arctic climate an d the processes that control it, and to establish an interdisciplinary foru m in which they can discuss current issues and research opportunities. The Summer Institute is supported by the University of Toronto's Connaught Fund and builds on the Summer School program developed by the NSERC CREATE Trai ning Program in Arctic Atmospheric Science (CREATE-AAS). It is affiliated w ith three NSERC-funded networks: Probing the Atmosphere of the High Arctic (PAHA), the Network on Climate and Aerosols (NETCARE), and the Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution (CanSISE) Network. The Summer Institute spans the d isciplines of physics, chemistry, earth sciences, geography, environmental science, and related areas, and encompasses the use of experimental, field observation, and modelling methodologies to study the Arctic region.
We are pleased to invite applications for our third Connaught Summer Instit ute, offered from July 17 to 21, 2017 in Alliston, Ontario. It is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows engaged in Arctic research. It is open to students from across the University of Toronto, as well as fr om other institutions, both national and international. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from experienced researchers in a small and comfo rtable setting. Students will also participate in professional development activities; engage in a diverse career panel discussion; develop strategies for linking scientific knowledge to public engagement, education and outre ach; and present their own research during a poster session.
Topics: This year, the program will be linked to the North2Warm in itiative, which is examining the impact of 1.5°C or greater global warming on Canada’s North. Topics will include the Arctic climate system, observed changes, projected changes under different warming scenarios, and impacts a nd adaptations underway and anticipated, as well as high-latitude climate d ynamics, sea ice observations, lake/land–atmosphere interactions, atmospher ic composition, Arctic aerosols, permafrost engineering, climate modelling, and more.
Speakers include Jonathan Abbatt (U Toron to), Lukas Arenson (BGC Engineering Inc.), Claude Duguay (U Waterloo), Stev e Howell (Environment and Climate Change Canada), Alexandra Jahn (U Colorad o Boulder), Paul Kushner (U Toronto), Kent Moore (U Toronto), Kerri Pratt ( U Michigan), Michael Sigmond (Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Ana lysis, ECCC), and Francis Zwiers (Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium).
< p>Admission to the Summer Institute includes all on-site food and accommoda tion. A chartered bus will take attendees to and from downtown Toronto, how ever, attendees are responsible for travel between their home institution a nd Toronto or Alliston.To apply, please fill out the applica tion form at http://www.candac.ca/create/ CSI_Arctic_science_application_form_2017.pdf.
