[Holger Steffen]

Dear all,

There is just over one week left to apply for a place on the Glacial Isostatic 
Adjustment (GIA) training school that will be held in Gävle, Sweden, between

Apply here:

Closing date: 31st March 2019

The program will include lectures and practical exercises aimed at 
investigating the interactions between solid Earth deformation, ice mass 
change, and associated sea-level and geoid variations. Participants will 
receive instruction in using freely available modelling software and have the 
opportunity to learn from some of the leading researchers in the GIA 
community. Usage of Abaqus in GIA modelling will also be part of the program. A 
field trip to examine records of land uplift and sea level change will be 
included.

There is no registration fee. We have secured sufficient funds to be able to 
offer at least partial travel and subsistence support for all attendees. 
Individuals seeking financial support should submit both an Enrollment 
Application and a Financial Support Application.

Financial support for the training school has been provided by the National 
Science Foundation (NSF) through the Antarctica Network (ANET) component of the 
Polar Earth Observing Network (POLENET) project, the Scientific Community on 
Antarctic Research (SCAR) through the Solid Earth Responses and influences on 
Cryospheric Evolution (SERCE) program, the International Association of 
Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and DTU 
Space.

We look forward to receiving your applications!
