CUAHSI (The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science) is pleased to partner with iSWGR to offer the Snow Measurement Field School, a 4-day field school on making and analyzing snow measurements.
Course Objectives
This course will give fundamental training to students in making and analyzing snow measurements including depth, density, water equivalence, grain size and shape, stratigraphy, temperature and hardness. Students completing this course will be able to perform high-quality fieldwork and design studies making snowpack measurements.
By the end of the course, students should be able to do the following:
Eligibility
The course is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, professionals and senior scientists, modelers and remote sensers that will make snow measurements as part of their research, or use snowpack data in their research. There are no required prerequisites, but students should be physically able to spend days outside being active in the snow.
How to Apply
Applications have reopened and applicants have until 15 October 2018 to apply via Google Form.
Applications will be reviewed by course instructors and are evaluated based on the following criteria: clarity of learning takeaways from course; course relevancy to thesis work and/or job; and potential to contribute to university and general science community.
