Your opportunity to become a Young National Correspondent in GTN-P!
Dear PYRN member,
Are you an early career permafrost enthusiast and familiar with permafrost and
active layer measurements or databases? Here is the perfect opportunity for you to
become internationally engaged as Young National Correspondent in the Global
Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (gtnp.org).
We are collecting active layer thickness and temperature data from boreholes to
input into the GTN-P international database. We plan to present a major report at
the ICOP2016 in Potsdam and plan to prepare a high level publication. Furthermore,
we will organize a GTN-P session during ICOP2016 as well as a “data management
course” during the Permafrost Young Researchers Workshop beforehand. Here, we`ll
teach candidates how to work with the GTN-P database. It`s not complicated and
you`ll have the unique opportunity to work with experienced permafrost researchers
and help them to improve the global database on permafrost!
What we offer:
-­‐ You will receive the official title
“Young National Correspondent for >your country< in GTN-P”
-­‐ You`ll have the opportunity to apply for travel support to GTN-P workshops
and meetings (e.g. the ICOP2016).
-­‐ You will be empowered to contact institutions and researchers, spread
your name, be active and establish yourself as permafrost scientist. This
way you will contribute to a very important scientific progress, to grow the
world’s early warning system for permafrost thawing.
Your task:
-­‐ Your responsibility would be to work closely with the other Young National
Correspondents and National Correspondent(s) in your country, to find
available data and submit it to the GTN-P database. If you need
assistance, the GTN-P secretariat is always within reach.
If you are interested, please send a brief application (ca. 5 sentences and a short
CV) to the National Correspondent of your country:
