CH2M HILL Polar Services (CPS) announces 2016 Arctic Field Training
Course Opportunities. These courses are open to NSF-funded researchers
working in the Arctic, including principal investigators, graduate
students, research assistants, and undergraduate field assistants. The
courses are free of charge for all qualified researchers, and limited
travel funds may be available for some courses. CPS can only accept
attendees whose schedules allow them to attend all days of the course.
Aviation Land and Water Survival School: April 12/13 - Anchorage, AK
Provided by Learn to Return Training Systems. The class provides an
intense look at methods and techniques for surviving aviation accidents
in Alaska in both small and large aircraft. Students are exposed to land
and water crash simulations to duplicate impact conditions.
AFT and Wilderness First Aid Training: May 6/7/8 - Woods Hole, MA The
course combines field training (cold weather camping, survival
techniques, tips for working around aircraft, emergency communications,
bears, search-and-rescue procedures, and risk management) with
wilderness first aid training (first aid techniques in remote settings
with challenging weather, unreliable communications and/or delayed
medical or rescue support, limited equipment, and the need to make
independent decisions on care and transport).
Interested participants should send their name, affiliation, email,
active NSF grant number with the name of the grant's Principal
Investigator, and name of course to Matt Irinaga (matt [at] polarfield.com).
If the courses fill, CPS will start a waitlist.
