Dear Colleagues [apologies for multiple postings]

Please note the upcoming deadline for applications for a training school for non-specialists in GIA modelling. Whilst early stage researchers will be given some preference,
applications from more experienced researchers are also welcome. The training school is explicitly for those who need to deal with GIA signal in their data (ie, tectonics or GPS
at tide gauges) or are seeking to measure and understand GIA using geodetic tools.

1-5 June, Gdvle Sweden.
The main objective of this Training School is to give early-stage researchers whose principal area of expertise is not in Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) modelling intensive
training on numerical GIA modelling. The training will not be limited to the solid-earth deformation process of GIA only, but will also involve glaciological modelling of the
disappearing Late-Pleistocene ice sheets on the one hand and GIA-induced sea-level change on the other hand. Participants from fields involved in the measurement of GIA (e.g.,
GRACE, ground-based gravity, geometric geodesy) are particularly welcome.
 
The school is organised by the COST action ES0701 "improved constraints on models of GIA" but is open to everyone with relevant interest and background. See
http://www.cost-es0701.gcparks.com/index.php/activities/training-schools for further information and registration. Deadline March 31.

Lecturers include:
Martin Ekmanm, Summer Institute for Historical Geophysics
Kurt Lambeck, Australian National University
Giorgio Spada, University of Urbino
Bert Vermeersen, TU Delft
Patrick Wu, University of Calgary
Roberik van de Wal, Utrecht University
