Deadline approaching: Glacial Isostatic Adjustment training school

There is just over one week left to apply for a place on the Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) training school that will be held in Gävle, Sweden, between 26-30th August 2019.

Apply here: http://polenet.org/2019-glacial-isostatic-adjustment-gia-training-school

Closing date: 31st March 2019

The program will include lectures and practical exercises aimed at investigating the interactions between solid Earth deformation, ice mass change, and associated sea-level and geoid variations. Participants will receive instruction in using freely available modelling software and have the opportunity to learn from some of the leading researchers in the GIA community.  A field trip to examine records of land uplift and sea level change will be included.

There is no registration fee. We have secured sufficient funds to be able to offer at least partial travel and subsistence support for all attendees. Individuals seeking financial support should submit both an Enrolment Application and a Financial Support Application.

Financial support for the training school has been provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Antarctica Network (ANET) component of the Polar Earth Observing Network (POLENET) project, the Scientific Community on Antarctic Research (SCAR) through the Solid Earth Responses and influences on Cryospheric Evolution (SERCE) program, the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and DTU Space.
