Apply today for the Polar Aeronomy and Radio Science (PARS) summer school to be held in Alaska July 31 through August 10, 2006. This year's school will be organized around the theme of 'Incoherent- Scatter RADAR and AMISR'.

The school brings in about 20 student/faculty pairs to carry out a program of study and experiments relating to the theme of the school. We divide the time between lectures, field trips, and experiments. Each student is responsible for planning and carrying out an experiment using the variety of facilities available in Alaska. Admission to the school is based upon the experiment proposal the students submit with their applications. All costs for the participants will be paid for by the Geophysical Institute with funds from the Air Force Research Lab, the Office of Naval Research, and the National Science Foundation.

The deadline for applications is May 31, 2006. Information about the school can be found at http://www.gi.alaska.edu/PARS, or by contacting Ms. Joanna Meyers (Joanna.Meyers@gi.alaska.edu)
