| New PDF positions in Arctic Atmospheric Research | | CANDAC and CREATE-AAS are advertising for PDF positions in Arctic Atmospheric Research. Applications close May 15, 2013. Please see PDF advertisement for more information | | | | CANDAC Newsletters | | CANDAC Newsletters can be found on the CANDAC Newsletters web page under Links menu. | | If you would like to receive a copy of the CANDAC Newsletter, please send your name and mailing address, including postal code, to info@candac.ca | | | | Donating to PEARL | | We have had a number of enquiries about donating funds to support
PEARL. We would invite you to consider a donation to the Foundation for
Climate and Atmospheric Sciences who have been vigorous
supporters of PEARL over many years. They would be happy to route funds
to activities in support of PEARL.

| New Funding for PEARL Research | | CANDAC is pleased to announce that Dalhousie University and Prof. James Drummond have been awarded a $5M grant over five years from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) for research in "Probing the Atmosphere of the High Arctic" (PAHA) that closely involves the PEARL facility. This funding began in February 2013. Funds will be used for PEARL operations and for science studies in collaboration with Environment Canada and other government departments. Full details of the announcement can be found on NSERC's web-site.
| | | | The Canadian ACE Arctic Validation Campaign 2013 | | Each spring, as the sun comes up at Eureka for the first time in four months, a group of researchers from the Universities of Toronto, York and Western Ontario travel to Eureka to make measurements of the atmosphere. The Canadian Arctic ACE Validation Campaign has been running at Eureka since 2004, and is now complemented by the suite of instruments installed at PEARL. Measurements made with CANDAC and ACE campaign instruments allow us to validate the measurements made by the ACE and OSIRIS satellite instruments and to study the processes occurring in the stratosphere. To follow the progress of
this year's campaign, please visit our website: http://acebox.uwaterloo.ca/eureka/ | | | | CREATE Training Program in Arctic Atmospheric Science | | The NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program (CREATE) provides students and postdoctoral fellows with training in Arctic Atmospheric Science, including the use of state-of-the-art instrumentation and analysis of large data sets. | | More ... | | | | CANDAC Education/Outreach Program | | The CANDAC Outreach and Education Program began with a visit to Qarmartalik School in Resolute Bay, Nunavut in 2004, and has since expanded to the communities of Grise Fiord, Hall Beach, Igloolik, Iqaluit, Pond Inlet, as well as numerous communities in Southern Canada. Activities ranging from the ambitious Northern Experience Program undertaken as part of International Polar Year, to the current Student-Researchers Atmospheric Collaboration have brought students, communities, and researchers together in creative ways to enhance their learning experience, enthuse them about science, and inform them about the Arctic and Arctic issues. We have developed workshop programs appropriate for grades 1 to 12, on topics such as air pollution, ozone depletion, aerosols, climate change, Canadian satellites, space science, and weather. | | More... |
