Space is still available for the CH2M HILL Polar Services (CPS) Aviation
Land and Water course in Anchorage, Alaska, 20-21 April 2010. The
two-day course offers an intense look at methods and techniques for
surviving aviation accidents in the Arctic. Students are exposed to land
and water crash simulators to duplicate impact conditions, and receive
"dunker" training in a local pool with certified instructors. The course
is facilitated by Learn to Return (LTR) Training Systems
(http://www.survivaltraining.com).
The course is open to twenty NSF-funded arctic researchers. This
includes principal investigators, graduate students, research
assistants, and undergraduate field assistants. The course is free of
charge for all qualified researchers. Travel assistance/per diem is
available for participants outside the local area of the course. CPS can
only accept attendees whose schedules allow them to attend all days of
the course. CPS will arrange and provide travel and accommodations for
course participants only, and will not arrange accommodations for
partners and/or families nor provide assistance with personal travel in
conjunction with the course.
Interested participants should send their name, affiliation, email, and
active NSF grant number with the name of the grant's principal
investigator to:
