The first field-school of the International Partnerships for Excellent
Education and Research (INTPART) project titled, "Arctic Field Summer
Schools: Norway-Canada-USA collaboration" will be organized by
University of Tromso (UiT) - the Arctic University of Norway and will
convene 15 May-2 June 2017. This field course is only open to U.S.-based
graduate students enrolled at U.S. universities.
During this first Norwegian Field School, students will participate in a
remote sensing and ship-based field school at Svalbard and Tromso. The
course is divided in two closely related segments, starting with a
one-week field course on board the research vessel Lance to the marginal
ice zone in and around Svalbard, where the participating students will
receive introductory lectures and collect in-situ and remote sensing
data to be analyzed in the subsequent segment.
The second week will take place at the Centre for Integrated Remote
Sensing and Forecasting for Arctic Operations (CIRFA), located within
the Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Physics and
Technology at UiT-the Arctic University of Norway. This part of the
course will cover analysis of data collected in the field and additional
archived data. The participating students will have to submit an
individual report or an oral presentation at the end of the school, and
will be able to earn credits for participation based on an assessment of
the work.
The class will be offered as a two-credit University of Alaska Fairbanks
(UAF) summer course and students willing to earn credits need to enroll
for the class.
Travel grants will be issued to cover round-trip international travel
costs.
Applicants must submit a one-page letter of motivation that outlines how
this course fits into their graduate study and career plans, a
curriculum vitae, and a letter of recommendation from their supervisor.
