The Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) invites applications for the 2025 JIRP field season. The program is geared towards undergraduate students, but is also appropriate for graduate students with limited experience in Earth and climate science, rising high school seniors who demonstrate academic drive, and non-traditional students interested in moving towards Earth science.
The JIRP is an eight-week summer field course for students interested in undergraduate-level Polar sciences. Participants receive a wide range of training in Earth and climate sciences, alpine travel and safety skills, and science communication while traversing the Juneau Icefield from Southeast Alaska to northern British Columbia.
There are no specific prerequisites for JIRP, however applicants must be 18 years old by the first day of the program. This is an opportunity for students interested in glacial science who do not have access to relevant coursework at their home institutions. No backcountry or skiing experience is required for the safety training, and the program does not require students to be currently enrolled in school.
