The IACPES Training Week in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics will be held the week of June 13 – 17, 2016 at York University. Funding is provided by NSERC.

This training week is mandatory for all IACPES trainees.

Other graduate, undergraduate students and PDFs who have an interest in

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics are welcome to attend.

Professional scientists are also welcome to register for the summer course and may attend the symposium.

Travel and accommodation expenses will be covered for all graduate students and/or postdocs that are formally supported by the training program.

The Training week is composed of three activities as follows:

1. IACPES Symposium Day, Monday, June 13, 2016

The main focus of this year’s IACPES Symposium is Atmospheric Science Policy. An important skill often lacking in scientists is the ability to distil scientific information and to communicate it to non-scientific decision makers. A professional development policy component was incorporated into the training of all the NSERC CREATE IACPES trainees. This was to encourage the students to think beyond the science, to expose them to a network of government policy contacts, and to provide future opportunities to those students who might find a niche in the science/policy/management arena, an area that is desperately in need of scientifically trained individuals with proper communication skills. Each student chose a policy topic related to their research or some other atmospheric theme with the intention of writing a paper/manuscript and present the results to a suitable audience. Government scientist are invited to participate at this forum.

3. Training Day – Friday, June 17, 2016

The last day of the training program is devoted to student training.

This year’s training will be held at OME/EC’s newest Air Monitoring station located at Environment Canada’s Ontario Storm Prediction Centre at Steeles and Dufferin Street in Toronto. Members of OME will be hosting the event. The following is a brief agenda: Tour of instrument; principles of operation of instruments; QA/QC of data; storm prediction. Due to the limited available number of slots participation will be the NSERC CREATE IACPES Trainees only.

An invitation is required to register for the event. A password which is required will be sent with the invitation. If you do not receive an invitation via e-mail, please contact iacpes@yorku.ca
