APECS Vice-President Yulia Zaika has recently been elected to serve on the Council of the International Glaciological Society (IGS)! We are very excited for her and are sure she will help to develop more great opportunities for young scientists and a good connection with the IGS.
Yulia has been a long-term APECS member and has served on the APECS Executive Committee since 2011 and was elected APECS President for 2011-2012. She is a research assistant at the Khibiny education and scientific station of the Faculty of Geography M.V.Lomonosov Moscow State University. Her research focuses on observations of climate data, snow cover and avalanches in the industrialized Russian Arctic regions. She is also involved in INTERACT (International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic) as the Khibiny station representative.
Congratulations Yulia and good luck with this great opportunity!
