Glacier Change Research Mission (Alaska) | July 1–July 12
Students will join an interdisciplinary team studying glacier retreat and landscape change along Alaska’s remote south coast. After a one-week online module, they will spend two weeks aboard a research vessel visiting over 50 glaciers, relocating historic photo stations, collecting repeat photography, and integrating GPS, maps, and satellite data to document glacier dynamics. Their work contributes to long-term datasets archived with the National Snow and Ice Data Center and Parks Service.

COURSE SCHEDULE / STRUCTURE

The course combines short lectures and discussions with hands-on field and laboratory activities. Core activities include wildlife capture/handling, field necropsy procedures, parasite recovery and identification, Nanopore-based DNA sequencing, and bioinformatics. Emphasis is placed on integrating morphological and molecular results to address ecological and evolutionary questions in real-world field settings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will:

• Train in animal capture, necropsy, and parasite collection procedures.
• Learn techniques for morphological identification of helminth parasites.
• Apply molecular methodologies including DNA extraction, PCR, metabarcoding, and Nanopore sequencing.
• Integrate morphological and molecular results to address relevant ecological and evolutionary questions.

METHODS / TECHNICAL SKILLS COVERED (EXAMPLES)

Southwest Climate Studio Art (SCSA), offered by the Wild Rockies Field Institute (WRFI), immerses students in the landscapes and cultures of northern New Mexico, integrating academic and nature-based experiences to examine the impacts of climate change through a creative lens. During SCSA, students meet and collaborate with regional artists, Indigenous leaders, environmental advocates, and farmers to gain nuanced, firsthand insights into the challenges and resilience strategies unique to the area. These interactions inspire students to create artwork, developed through daily practice, that reflects both their personal connection to the landscape and the voices of people in an area acutely impacted by climate change.

This course is ideal for any student who wants to learn experientially and feels passionate about issues such as fire ecology, water culture, care and practice of living in community, and the cultural intersection of traditional and modern art forms. It’s ideal for students passionate about art, environmental issues, and experiential education. Participants earn 6 upper-division credits through the University of Montana. For a student’s perspective on what a day on the course looks like, read this blog by a 2024 participant.Please reach out to course co-instructor Elizabeth Simpson (Phd Ecology), liz@wrfi.net, with any questions, and to student experience manager Kelsey Wellington (MFA Creative Writing), kelsey.wellington@wrfi.net, if you are interested in applying.

Field Projects International has limited openings in three field research training programs in the Peruvian Amazon: 

Primate Behavior & Movement Ecology: The longest-running research project, Primate Behavior & Movement Ecology, evaluates 11 primate species to observe diet, movement, dispersal, and reproductive biology – with special focus on two species of tamarin. 
Research assistants will become adept at conducting behavioral follows of several target groups (with and without radio telemetry technology), collecting biological samples, and learn to maintain a grid of UHF radio nodes distributed at regular intervals in the forest to record animal movement and survival year-round.

More info: https://fieldprojects.org/participate/primate-behavior-program/

Wildlife Health: Assist a wildlife veterinary research team safely collecting samples from a wide array of vertebrate taxa (birds, bats, nonhuman primates, other small mammals, and herpetofauna) with the aim of improving molecular reference data for the region, as well as to study ecological links throughout the community via parasites and pathogens. Participants learn safe capture and release techniques along with best practices for sample and data collection. Additional skills include field sampling for environmental DNA, sample biobanking under field conditions, species identification through morphometry, handheld GPS navigation, and much more.

More info: https://fieldprojects.org/participate/wildlife-biology

Conservation Genomics: Work alongside an active conservation genomics research team to generate and analyze genetic data that informs wildlife conservation and management. Participants assist with biological sample processing, DNA extraction, PCR, and library preparation in a BSL-2 laboratory, while learning how genomic data are used to study population structure, connectivity, biodiversity, and evolutionary history. Research assistants gain hands-on experience with lab workflows, data management, and the integration of field and molecular data to address real-world conservation questions.

*100% of the program fee is used to support the A’Ukre community or cover program costs.

About the Program: The Mebêngôkre-Kayapó (Kayapo) live in, manage, and protect one of the world’s largest, continuous tropical forest areas. The Kayapo Field Course and Internship, started in 2004, is a partnership between the Kayapo community of A’Ukre, Biome Conservation, Pykôre Association, and the Protected Forest Association. Guided by an Indigenous, Brazilian, and North American team, the program offers an experiential introduction to Kayapo landscapes and livelihoods of inside Amazon’s highly threatened “arc of deforestation.” After traveling through the Brazilian frontier, participants spend two weeks with the A’Ukre community, immersing themselves in village life and learning about the Amazon forest at the Pinkaiti Ecological Research Station.

The program is offered by Biome Conservation (also known as the International Conservation Fund of Canada). University credits may be available through the Federal University of Para. Program directors can facilitate independent study or internship credits for participants. The program is also eligible for the Gilman Scholarship for study abroad. 

The program is one of the only ways to visit the Kayapo Territories.
