Practical information
The Field and methods course at Disko consists of a 10-day stay at Arctic Station in the period August 15-30, 2024. The course will be completed in the autumn 2024 after data analyses and a report. The course activities are planned so field work and data collection can be part of a Master Thesis.
There are rooms for 14 students at Arctic Station. If more students sign up for the course, alternative accommodation at Disko or alternative field locations in Greenland will be considered.
