Reminder of the upcoming application deadline for the Fifth International Summer School in Glaciology organized by the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF), and to be held in McCarthy, central Alaska, from 5 to 15 June 2018.
The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the physics of glaciers and current research frontiers in glaciology with focus on quantitative glaciology and remote sensing. The course is open to 28 graduate students from around the world targeting primarily early stage PhD students who perform glacier-related research.
It will be taught by faculty of UAF’s glaciology group and several invited guest instructors from outside Alaska: Andy Aschwanden, Ed Bueler, Mark Fahnestock, Regine Hock, Martin Truffer (UAF); Kelly Brunt (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center), Matthew Hoffman (Los Alamos National Lab), Mike Loso (National Parks Service Alaska), Erin Worthon (USGS Tacoma).
