Schools & Training Courses

The 7th EGU Snow Science Winter School 2023 will take place from 29 January to 4 February 2023 in Davos, Switzerland. You will learn: State-of-the-art snow measurement techniques (measurement of specific surface area by reflection and spectroscopy, near-infrared photography, high-resolution penetrometry and micro-tomography) Understanding the physical processes responsible for the evolution of the snowpack Understanding vertically resolved […]

We would like to draw your attention to the following training workshop offered to Pakistan based students, researchers and practitioners interested in learning about glacier modelling. The University of Innsbruck, University of Bremen, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), ICIMOD and the Himalayan University Consortium (HUC) are co-organising a week-long training on glacier modelling and […]

Snow plays a critical role in Arctic and worldwide climates. However, Arctic snow cover challenges most sophisticated models, as those were initially developed to describe snow in temperate and alpine regions. Formation, accumulation, and metamorphism processes of Arctic snow are specific to polar regions and our knowledge on spatial and temporal variability of those processes […]

The Polar Science Early Career Community Office is excited to announce that the 2023 Polar Postdoctoral Leadership Workshop (PPLW) will be taking place in Colorado, from May 15 to 19, 2023. The workshop will bring 20 US-based postdoctoral researchers studying Antarctic and Arctic topics together from across the country to activate leadership skills that they can […]

A training school on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) modelling will be held from 3–7 July 2023 at Lantmäteriet, Gävle, Sweden. The program will include lectures and practical exercises aimed at investigating the interactions between solid Earth deformation, ice mass change, and associated sea-level and geoid variations, and a 1 day field trip to examine records […]

The Advanced Climate Dynamics Courses (ACDC) and the Greenland Ice Sheet Ocean science network (GRISO) will host a joint summer school at Arctic Station in Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland, from 20th August to 2nd September 2023. The topic is “Past and Future Changes in Greenland Climate”. Through lectures and group work the summer school will cover science areas including […]
