This 2018 course is closed but please contact me if you are interested in case a related course is offered in the future.

Below is information for students joining the Exploration Seminar to Greenland and Denmark offered from 15 August – 10 September 2018. This is listed as Earth and Space Sciences Greenland and Denmark: Ice and climate-change science and societal response.

This course provides 5 NW credits as ESS 402, included in the course fee, and will be cross-listed with Arctic Studies to provide 5 units of ARCTIC 387 if that is preferred.

Course fee listed reflects a significant reduction in cost due to generous support from the Scan|Design Foundation. We are thrilled to have this partnership and offer this distinct opportunity.

For the participants I have linked documents with more information. These are still being updated but are made available for planning — please take note of the version and look for notices of any updates!
