Summer Schools
To further the education of young scientists in marine-related sciences and to train a new generation to participate in ocean drilling expeditions in the future, ECORD has started a Summer School program.

2012 Summer Schools
Three ECORD summer schools will be offered in 2012. Please note that numerous scholarships are available to allow outstanding young scientists to attend the schools.
Impacts of the Cryosphere Dynamics from Land to Ocean
July 5-21, 2012 - Quebec, Canada
The main goal of the summer school is to train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the fields of paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, marine geology and their associated methodological approaches and techniques. A special attention will be given to polar and subpolar environments and to ice‐ocean‐atmosphere interactions and their role in climate dynamics.
The summer school will be centered on four days of fieldwork on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, in the Sept‐Îles area, which will be complemented with classes given by international invited lecturers, workshops involving the students, and four days of hands‐on exercises.
Further details about the location, fees, and preliminary program can be found in the second circular. Registration is now open until June 1, 2012. Please visit the GEOTOP-UQAM website or contact summerschool2012@ete.inrs.ca for more information.

The Urbino Summer School in Paleoclimatology: Past Global Change Reconstruction and Modeling Techniques
July 11-31, 2012 - Urbino, Italy
The 9th summer school of the USSP consortium will focus on past climate dynamics with special emphasis on the analysis of the long-term carbon cycling and its implications in the understanding of present and future climates. USSP 2012 will integrate lectures, symposia, fieldtrips, and exercises on the many different areas of paleoclimatology including biogeochemical cycling, paleoceanography, continental systems, and all aspects of deep time climate modeling. These techniques and systems will be explored through interactive discussions of Cretaceous OAEs, P/E hyperthermals, the Greenhouse-Icehouse transition, Neogene and Quaternary climate dynamics. The goal of USSP is to provide participants with an advanced working knowledge on the paleobiological and geochemical proxy data and their use in reconstructing and modeling of past climates.

Submarine Landslides, Earthquakes and Tsunamis
September 3-14, 2012 - Bremen, Germany
Improving our understanding of when, where, and how great earthquakes and slope failures occur are among the most urgent and challenging tasks faced by modern Earth science. This summer school seeks to raise the awareness of young scientists for the need of interdisciplinary approaches and prepare them for future work, which will be critical in coming decades for understanding the complex dynamics of offshore geohazards.
