[CRYOLIST] PhD school on ice core techniques and analysis (ICAT-2.5 ECTS) -second announcement

Dear all

We are having a PhD school on ice core analysis techniques (ICAT-2.5 ECTS) from the 31st of October to the 6th of Nov 2016 at University of Copenhagen, Denmark. 

I would appreciate it if you would help by forwarding the information below to the attention of relevant PhD students and younger postdocs. More information can be found on the ICAT homepage http://recap.nbi.ku.dk/icat-ice-core-analysis-techniques_octnov-2016/

Sincerly

ICAT-Ice Core Analysis Techniques

31st Oct-5th Nov 2016

University of Copenhagen (Denmark)


The PhD course (2.5 ECTS) is aimed at PhD students and junior postdocs who conduct ice core analysis and/or are users of ice core data (glaciological, oceanographic, climate modelers).
The results from ice cores cannot be fully appreciated without understanding the analytical techniques behind the measurements as well as the implicit assumptions related to the emission, transport and deposition of the species analysed.
These include a variety of approaches such as continuous flow analysis for the analysis of impurities, but also ion chromatography and a number of other methods used for high resolution measurements of the impurity content in ice cores. Laser spectroscopy has replaced older-generation technology such as mass spectrometry for the analysis of some gases preserved in polar ice. 
ICAT aims to educate a new generation of ice core researchers and foster a collaborative environment for future glaciological projects. The course will enhance the knowledge between PhD's within the ice core community on new methods developed for the analysis of ice core climate.


Lecturers include: Prof Joe McConnell, Prof Ed Brook, Prof Thomas Blunier with more.
Registration fee: No registration fee, but students should prepare for their own lodging and transport.
Application: Send your application to hellek@fys.ku.dk before July 30th, 2016. You will be notified the decision of the Selection Committee by September 1st, 2016.
Your application should include:
  • A statement of why you want to participate
  • Affiliation, name of supervisor
  • A 200 word description of your research project
  • a Curriculum Vitae
Please supply this information as a single pdf.
