This workshop might be of interest if you are planning on attending AGU in a few weeks....
Are you interested in incorporating field work into your research projects but you're worried that you don't know how to properly plan & execute a successful field campaign? Have you participated in numerous field campaigns with varied success and would like to improve your field planning, leading, and execution skills?
If so, please join us at the Getting Out in the Field as a Skill Workshop held at the upcoming AGU Fall meeting (http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/events/getting-out-in-the-field-as-a-skill-workshop/). The workshop will be held on Wednesday, December 11th from 3-5pm in the Marriott Marquis Golden Gate A. The workshop will provide a panel discussion on the challenges, benefits, and strategies for being successful at planning, leading, and completing fieldwork in a variety of settings. All career stages are welcome to attend!
The workshop's panelists include Dr. Bob Hawley (Dartmouth College), Dr. Fiamma Straneo (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution), Dr. Julie Brigham-Grette (U. Massachusetts-Amherst), and Allen O'Bannon (Field Risk Manager, CH2MHILL Polar Services). Each panelist will briefly provide his/her key tips for the successful planning and execution of field work, then the panel will open-up to questions from the audience.
The workshop is co-hosted by the Earth Science Women's Network (http://eswnonline.org/) and Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (http://www.apecs.is/). If you have any questions about the workshop, please email Ellyn Enderlin (ellyn.enderlin@gmail.com).

Subject: [CRYOLIST] Aberystwyth University - MSc in Glaciology - Open Day 13th Nov 2013
Dear Cryolist,
Please see the information below regarding the distinctive “MSc in Glaciology” programme offered at Aberystwyth University, Wales. It would be appreciated if these details could be advertised, forwarded or emailed to final-year undergraduate students who may be interested in the postgraduate scheme.
Our next major Masters-level recruitment event is the Postgraduate Open Day on Wednesday 13th November, fully detailed in the Open Day brochure:
http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/media/departmental/postgrad/openday/18381-Nov-PG-WEB.pdf
An Open Day poster and flyer detailing the “MSc in Glaciology” scheme offered here are attached. The 1-year (or 2-year part time) scheme is unique in the UK, and provides an excellent and well-proven platform for students who wish to progress to careers in environmental monitoring or engage in PhD research projects in glaciology.
Note, Aberystwyth does offer to pay towards travel costs for those attending the Open Day. See: www.aber.ac.uk/en/postgrad/postgraduate-open-days/
For further information regarding the Centre for Glaciology at Aberystwyth, please see: http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/iges/research-groups/centre-glaciology/
Although the Nov 13th Open Day event is imminent, this may be of interest to undergraduates keen to engage in glaciology. For further information, please contact me directly.
We hope to welcome some of your budding cold-regions enthusiasts!
Apologies for any cross-posting. Many thanks,
Tris.
