NSERC CREATE Training Program in Arctic Atmospheric Science
2012 Summer School in Arctic Atmospheric Science
The NSERC CREATE Training Program in Arctic Atmospheric Science is a
six-year project, begun in 2010 and supported by NSERC's Collaborative
Research and Training Experience Program. Our Program takes advantage of
the unique capabilities of the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research
Laboratory (PEARL), which is run by the Canadian Network for the Detection
of Atmospheric Change (CANDAC) and located at Eureka, Nunavut. Our goal 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.
We are pleased to announce a Summer School addressing the broad theme of
Arctic Atmospheric Science, offered from July 23 to 27, 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 modelling 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.
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. Confirmed speakers and panelists
include Jean-Pierre Blanchet (Université du Québec à Montréal), Florent
Bouguin (ABB), Tim Canty (University of Maryland, College Park), James R.
Drummond (Dalhousie University), Lynn Harvey (University of Colorado at
Boulder), Brian Manning (Nunavut Arctic College), Chris McLinden
(Environment Canada), Stella Melo (Canadian Space Agency), Margaret Munro
(Postmedia News), Martin Sharp (University of Alberta), and Paul Sullivan
(Raytheon Polar Services).
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 (www.candac.ca/create). A completed application must
also include a CV and a short letter of support from the applicant's
supervisor. Please submit your application by email to
create_summerschool@atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca.
Location: Nottawasaga Inn, Alliston, Ontario, Canada.
Dates: July 23-27, 2012.
Eligibility: Open to Canadian and international graduate students and
post-doctoral fellows, as well as CREATE summer undergraduate interns.
Tuition: There are no tuition fees, however, attendees must cover the cost
of return travel from their home institution.
Application Deadline: June 1, 2012.
