Organizers invite applications for the Sikumiut Field School. The Field School will take place 7-11 April 2025 in Utqiaġvik, Alaska.
Sikumiut means "people of the ice" in Iñupiaq and the field school aims to bring together sea ice knowledge holders from Indigenous and scientific ways of knowing to create a learning environment that blurs the line between students and instructors. Participants will learn about sea ice using methods based on Indigenous Knowledge, on-ice observations, remote sensing, and numerical modeling.
Sea ice knowledge holders of any discipline or career stage interested in learning about other ways of exploring and understanding sea ice are encouraged to apply. All attendees will be experts and learners during the field school. Organizers expect there to be 14 total attendees chosen to participate.
Applicants from U.S. institutions are eligible to participate. Travel, accommodations, and meal expenses will be covered for attendees.
Application deadline: 15 September 2024
