Because of *gestures around at everything*, we're extending the deadline for paleoCAMP applications one week to JANUARY 17th (letter writers always have a bit of leeway on the deadline as well). Contact me if you or your students have any questions or concerns or if you need even more extra time
Graduate students in paleoclimatology! Want to spend 2 weeks this summer in the gorgeous eastern Sierra of California at paleoCAMP (Paleoclimate Training in Climate Archives, Models, and Proxies) 2025? Apply before January 10th! paleoclimate.camp
