Details


Just in case you want to know the gory details: I'll be studying at UNIS: The University Center in Svalbard (www.unis.no). I'll be taking two classes: the Physical Geography of Svalbard and the Tectonic and Sedimentary History of Svalbard. In less complicated words, that means studying arctic climate change, glaciers, and the natural resources of the arctic (like coal and gas). I'll be living in dorm-like facilities with other students from around the world.

...and that's really all I know at this point!
