The first European Snow Science Winter School will take place from 8-14 February 2015 in Sodankylä, Finland. Any graduate student or post-doc working on snow or in some snow related field is welcome to participate. Those fields may cover glaciology, hydrology, oceanography, geography, but also biology or chemistry as well as engineering or material sciences.
Participants will learn about state-of-the-art snow measurement techniques in the field and related theory.
Field measurements will be done in small groups of 3-4 students. Each group of students will have to prepare a report describing the methods, results and interpretation. The course corresponds to 3 ETCS-Points.
The total cost of the course is €200 including full accommodation (details on the web page). The registration deadline is 31 December 2014 (number of participants is limited to 25).
The workshop is organized by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Juha Lemmetyinen, Leena Leppänen, Anna Kontu, the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, Martin Schneebeli, and Martin Proksch
