THANK YOU! We want to thank everyone who applied for and shared interest in our upcoming data workshop! We received an overwhelming amount of responses and it was a very competitive pool of candidates for only 30 available spaces, making our decisions very difficult. Applicants have been notified via email today on decisions for the workshop and travel grant. For those that we could not invite or participate this time, one of our goals from this workshop is to use some of the curriculum for online content and tutorials. The best way to stay up-to-date with our events and publications is to subscribe to our newsletter (z.umn.edu/pgcnewsletter) and join our community slack (z.umn.edu/pgcslack).

We are extending our workshop application deadline to January 16th! Decisions will be made by the 19th. This workshop is targeted for researchers funded by NSF-Office of Polar Programs or NASA Cryospheric Program and those looking to become better equipped to utilize geospatial data for polar science.
