Several fellowships are available to cover the costs of US-based early career scientists (Ph.D. students & postdocs) to attend the 6th edition of the Andes Glaciology Summer School led by the Argentine Institute for Snow, Glacier and Environmental Sciences (IANIGLA-CONICET), which will be held in Mendoza, Argentina, from the 4th to the 14th of August 2025.
These fellowships are supported by the AccelNet-ACCORD initiative. Aside from the standard registration process, US applicants should also submit a CV and cover letter explaining their motivation for participating in this course to Prof. Mathias Vuille (mvuille@albany.edu).
The course is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the physics of glaciers with examples from the Southern Andes. The course will be divided into two weeks, with a fieldwork excursion of two days to the Central Andes of Mendoza in the middle part of the course. The first week will concentrate on delivering the theoretical concepts with lectures and exercises based on the different glacial-climatic regions of the Southern Andes. After the fieldwork excursion, students will work in groups to consolidate the concepts learned during the previous week while studying real examples along the Southern Andes.
Please note that this course is taught in Spanish and intended for Early Career Scientists working in glaciology.
