Dear colleagues
There are 3 days remaining until the deadline for applications to the CryoSkills field course (23:59 on 29 October 2023, GMT). If you are a PhD student or ECR and haven't already submitted your application – especially if you are NERC-funded - then please consider doing so now!
CryoSkills is a fully funded, week-long practical field course in Haugastøl (Norway). 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 close on 29 October 2023.
For more details on the workshop and application procedure, please see https://www.cryoskills.com, where recordings of webinars discussing the course content and application process are also available.
If you still have any enquiries regarding the course and eligibility, please contact enquiries@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.
On behalf of the organising team,
Mike Prior-Jones
