Many critical processes in the Earth and climate sciences occur at interfaces among the atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, oceans, solid earth, and society. Using an interdisciplinary systems-based approach, as well as the ability to make direct observations, are essential to understanding these processes. ERS410 will visit a region where a wide range of environments – everything from open ocean (“sea”) to glaciers and atmospheric processes (“sky”) – can be experienced. During this travel study course we will focus on a range of professional and practical skills, including global impact/local relevance research, proposal development, science planning and logistics, risk assessment and mitigation, safety, group dynamics and collaboration, field-based and remote observations, cultural knowledge, and science communication.
