The USPA-PYRN Educational Fund (UPEF) was established to promote
cooperative efforts between the USPA and the Permafrost Young
Researchers Network (PYRN). The purpose of the UPEF fund is to promote
education on science and engineering issues related to permafrost. A
focus of these activities is the promotion of students entering into
fields of interest related to permafrost. The committee shall provide
input and recommendations reflecting the views of USPA and PYRN
members on the management and applications of the Educational Fund to
the USPA BoD.The UPEF committee includes the PYRN representative of
the USPA Board of Directors (BoD), an additional member of the USPA
BoD, and one or two PYRN member(s) that is (are) neither a PYRN
Executive Committee member nor a USPA BoD member. The UPEF Fund supported the 2010 IARC Summer School entitled "Arctic in a changing climate: Connection to permafrost" (http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/education_outreach/summer/2010) and the attendance by early career permfrost researchers at the American Geophysical Fall Union Meeting through travel stipends. |
