Engaging a New Generation of Arctic Researchers

该项目的目的是通过参加一系列暑期学校和参加实地项目，吸引青年科学家参与高纬度地区的地球科学研究，从而促进进一步的合作和联网。这一目标将通过为大约15-20名研究生开设一套四所暑期学校以及开发在线课程材料来实现。每个课程将包括一个课堂部分，更重要的是，实地经验、实践活动/微型项目和旨在与更广泛的普通受众交流的演示文稿。系统的事前和事后调查将提供暑期学校成功与否的衡量标准。

The purpose of this project is t attract young scientists to Earth Sciences research in the high latitudes through attendance at a series of summer schools and participation in field projects, thus promoting further collaborations and networking. The goal will be accomplished through a suite of four summer schools for groups of about 15-20 graduate students, as well as development of online course materials. Each course will consist of a classroom component and, more importantly, field experiences, hands-on activities/mini-projects, and presentations designed for communication to a broader general audience. Systematic pre- and post- surveys will provide metrics of summer school success.
