Summer Programs and Expedition Training in Interdisciplinary Arctic and Mountain Earth Systems Science
When:	Annually, around July 1 - August 24 depending on the length of field season.
Where:	Juneau Icefield, Alaska; British Columbia and Yukon Territory, Canada.
Who:	Student and professional scientists participate in an interdisciplinary study of the Juneau Icefield, the fifth largest icefield in the Western Hemisphere. Although students typically comprise undergraduate and graduate students, a few high-aptitude High School Juniors and Seniors and some visiting post-doctoral scientists are also involved.
What:	The program provides education and field training of earth system sciences to students and scientists through field research and classroom training. These activities help maintain the longest continuous research program of any glacier in the western hemisphere, and contribute to the monitoring of Alaskan glaciers and their sensitivity to climate change.
