ERS 410 - Sea-to-Sky Experience


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.  ERS 410 will visit a region where a wide range of environments - everything from open ocean (“sea”) to glaciers (“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.
