Organizers invite graduate and post graduate students who are interested
in Arctic Science to apply for the 2016 Connaught Summer Institute in
Arctic Science: Atmosphere, Cryosphere, and Climate which will take
place from 18-22 July in Alliston, Ontario, Canada.
The Connaught Summer Institute in Arctic Science: Atmosphere,
Cryosphere, and Climate brings together students and established
scholars who are engaged in Arctic research, to provide an understanding
of the Arctic climate and the processes that control it, and to
establish an interdisciplinary forum in which they can discuss current
challenges and identify emerging research opportunities in this area.
Organizers are pleased to invite applications for the second Connaught
Summer Institute, offered from 18-22 July 2016 in Alliston, Ontario,
Canada. It is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows
engaged in Arctic research. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn
from experienced researchers in a small and comfortable setting.
Students will also participate in professional development activities,
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 Arctic paleoclimatology, the Arctic climate
system, climate modelling, causes of changes in Arctic sea ice,
high-latitude snow processes, Arctic aerosols, composition-climate
interactions, tropospheric halogen chemistry in the Arctic,
stratospheric ozone and chlorine chemistry, the carbon cycle, aerosols
and climate, atmospheric measurement techniques, Arctic archeology,
Inuit heritage, and science communications.
Admission to the Summer Institute 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.
The Summer Institute is supported by the University of Toronto's
Connaught Fund and builds on the Summer School program developed by the
NSERC CREATE Training Program in Arctic Atmospheric Science
(CREATE-AAS). It is affiliated with three NSERC-funded networks: Probing
the Atmosphere of the High Arctic (PAHA), the Network on Climate and
Aerosols (NETCARE), and the Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution
(CanSISE) Network. The Summer Institute spans the disciplines of
physics, chemistry, earth sciences, geography, environmental science,
and related areas, and encompasses the use of experimental, field
observation, and modelling methodologies to study the Arctic region.
