--------------------
CH2M HILL Polar Services (CPS) announces an Aviation Land and Water
course in Anchorage, Alaska scheduled for Tuesday-Wednesday, 20-21 April
2010. The two-day course offers an intense look at methods and
techniques for surviving aviation accidents in the Arctic. Students are
exposed to land and water crash simulators to duplicate impact
conditions, and receive "dunker" training in a local pool with certified
instructors. The course is facilitated by Learn to Return (LTR) Training
Systems (http://www.survivaltraining.com).

The course is open to twenty NSF-funded arctic researchers. This
includes principal investigators, graduate students, research
assistants, and undergraduate field assistants. The course is free of
charge for all qualified researchers. Travel assistance and per diem is
available for participants outside the local area of the course. CPS can
only accept attendees whose schedules allow them to attend both days of
the course. CPS will arrange and provide travel and accommodations for
course participants only, and will not arrange accommodations for
partners and/or families nor provide assistance with personal travel in
conjunction with the course.

Interested participants should send their name, affiliation, email, and
active NSF grant number with the name of the grant's principal
investigator to:
