The Sikumiut Field School will take place on the sea ice near Utqiagvik, Alaska, from 7–11 April 2025 and we are requesting applications from all sea ice knowledge holders

What is the Sikukuit Field School?
Sikumiut means "people of the ice" in Iñupiaq and the field school aims to bring together sea ice knowledge holders from Indigenous and scientific ways of knowing to create a learning environment that blurs the
line between students and instructors. Participants will learn about sea ice using methods based on Indigenous Knowledge, On-ice Observations, Remote Sensing, and Numerical Modeling.

Who should apply?
Sea ice knowledge holders of any discipline or career stage interested in learning about other ways of exploring and understanding sea ice are encouraged to apply! All attendees will be experts and learners during the field school. We expect there to be 14 total attendees chosen to participate. Applicants from U.S. institutions are eligible to participate.

How will we get there?
Attendees will have all travel, accommodation, and meal expenses covered
