Arctic Field Summer Schools: training the next generation of Arctic researchers

Abstract

<p>The Arctic Field Summer Schools project is funded by the Research Council of Norway (NFR) and Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU), under the grant agreement number 261786/H30. <p>The project supports research and education collaboration among UiT - The Arctic University of Norway, University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), USA and University of Calgary (UC), Canada. <p>Through a series of three summer schools, the project will engage graduate students in exploring science questions related to current Arctic challenges, and bring together leading Arctic researchers from the partner institutions. <p>The project aims to create a forum and learning environment for students and young researchers to obtain an understanding of the complex Arctic environment, and how it can be monitored with various remote sensing sensors and platforms as well as in-situ observations.
