Fw: CryoSkills - a new field course on building and deploying instruments for cryospheric science in April 2024

Dear UKPN members,

Please see the below email for an opportunity for a field course, which has funding from the UK's Natural Environment Research Council and is likely to be of particular interest to UKPN members.

 

Many thanks,

 

Sam

 

 

 

Dear colleagues,

 

We are excited to announce that applications are open for 'CryoSkills': a fully funded, week-long practical field course in Haugastøl (Norway), geared towards PhD candidates and early-career scientists. Participants will learn to design, build and deploy sensors and instrumentation for cold regions. You can expect both relevant theory and the honing of practical skills for glaciological fieldwork, taught by experts in the field.

 

The course will take place from 02 April 2024 until 10 April 2024. Applications are open now and close on 29 October 2023.

 

For more details on the workshop and application procedure, please see https://www.cryoskills.com/

 

Please note that as this course is funded by the UK's Natural Environment Research Council, places are being prioritized firstly for NERC-funded PhD students and then for other UKRI-funded environmental scientists. If you are funded from another source you are still welcome to apply, but you are less likely to be selected because of these funding rules.

 

Please distribute this to students and ECS colleagues who may be interested. We look forward to applications!

 

We will be hosting a webinar with question and answer session *tomorrow*, Friday 6th October,  at 09:00am BST. To register for the webinar, use the link below:

The webinar will be recorded and available on cryoskills.com for those unable to attend, and another one will run in a couple of weeks' time.

 

One final note – the course materials will be made available online once the course has finished, and we would be very happy to discuss with anyone interested in running their own version of the course in the future.

 

On behalf of the organising team,

 

Mike
