Permafrost Engineering Applied to Transportation Infrastructure
June 2-8, 2019, Aurora College, Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada
|
|
This International PhD School (IPS) is an advanced, graduate level course on permafrost engineering applied to transportation infrastructure. The target academic audience are graduate students and professionals, but, in some cases, postdoctoral fellows and undergraduate students in late stage of their program may be selected. The program includes lectures, practical exercises, two field visits on sites where interesting permafrost and engineering features can be observed (Dempster Highway and Tuktoyaktuk Highway), and a seminar on advanced instrumentation and communication for infrastructure monitoring. Registration is open until April 15, 2019. |
Bootcamp : From Development to Deployment of an Optical Tool in a Northern Environment
February 26-28 2019, Forêt Montmorency, Réserve faunique des Laurentides, Canada
|
|
This bootcamp offers graduate students in the fields of engineering and optics-photonics a practical and integrative experience to develop an optical sensor adapted to the constraints of northern regions. The agenda consists of fruitful discussions, theoretical training and practical workshops, including the development of a light detection tool, the “Flat Light” detector. Registration is open until February 15, 2019. |
Arctic Microbiomes: From Molecules and Microbes to Ecosystems and Health
July 2-12, 2019, Whapmagoostui-Kuujjuarapik (Nunavik, Canada)
