The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)
Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program (CREATE)
announces the availability of a training program in Arctic Atmospheric
Science. The program will be held 23-27 July 2012 in Alliston, Ontario.
The Summer School is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows working in the field, with some places available for CREATE
undergraduate summer interns. Attendees will have the opportunity to
learn from experienced researchers in a small and comfortable setting.
In addition to classroom lectures, students will participate in a
hands-on photochemical modeling tutorial; engage in a diverse career
panel discussion; develop strategies for linking scientific knowledge to
public engagement, education, and outreach; and present their own
research during a poster session.
The goal of the program is to significantly enhance the educational
opportunities available to young researchers interested in polar,
atmospheric, and climate sciences, enabling them to build collaborations
and to develop scientific, technical, communications, and organizational
skills. Topics to be covered include aerosol-cloud-climate interactions,
arctic halogen chemistry, polar stratospheric ozone, middle atmosphere
dynamics, satellite remote sensing of pollution, global climate,
glacier-climate interactions in the Arctic, carbon cycling in glacial
environments, space and ground-based atmospheric instrumentation,
science support management at South Pole Station, Inuit culture,
teaching and education in the Canadian Arctic, and science journalism.
Admission to the summer school includes all on-site food and
accommodation. A chartered bus will be available to take attendees to
and from downtown Toronto, however, attendees are responsible for travel
between their home institution and Toronto or Alliston. To apply, please
fill out the application form obtained from the 'Opportunities' section
of the CREATE website (http://www.candac.ca/create). Completed
applications must also include a curriculum vitae and a short letter of
support from the applicant's supervisor. Applications must be submitted
by email (create_summerschool [at] atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca).
Application deadline: Friday, 1 June 2012.
