A training school focused on Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) modeling
will be held from 13-19 September 2015 at the Ohio State University's
Stone Laboratory on Gibraltar Island in Lake Erie, Ohio.
The school is aimed at early-stage researchers from a wide range of
backgrounds, and no previous experience in GIA modeling is required. An
introduction to the fundamentals, methods, applications, and current
state of GIA modeling will be provided. Participants will be given
intensive training on GIA modeling and relevant processes including ice
mass change, solid-earth deformation, and sea-level and geoid
variations, and will learn about the multitude of relevant data and data
sources used to generate, tune, and constrain GIA models. The program
will include both lectures and computer exercises utilizing freely
available modeling software, and participants should expect to come away
with an understanding of the theory and development behind GIA modeling
as well the practical ability to independently install and run GIA
modeling software.
Instructors for the GIA School include Mike Bentley, Mike Bevis, Ian
Dalziel, Erik Ivins, Meredith Nettles, Giorgio Spada, Holger Steffen,
Bert Vermeersen, Wouter van der Wal, Pippa Whitehouse, and Doug Wiens.
There is no registration fee, and participants will be provided with
food and lodging for the duration of the training school. Funding for
additional travel expenses, including airfare, may be available for both
U.S. and non-U.S. participants. Individuals seeking financial support
should submit both an Enrollment Application and a Financial Support
Application.
Application deadline: 31 March 2015.
