CReSIS 2006 Summer Tutorials

CReSIS is presenting a series of short tutorials for the summer of 2006. The tutorials will last approximately 45 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Everyone is invited to attend these tutorials, especially when topics will be presented that are outside your research area. This is an excellent opportunity for electrical engineers to learn about glaciology, and vice versa. These tutorials will be delivered via videoconferencing to our partner universities when facilities are available on their campuses. The schedule for the tutorials is available below or here in PDF format.

RED - ECSU will receive and participate in the videoconference broadcast from University of Kansas
GREEN - ECSU will broadcast these videoconferences to other partners. Leader is from ECSU
