Greenland Field Work
Early Summer Session 2
| 3 credits
DIS has a long-standing relationship with the Danish Technical University (DTU), and we are therefore excited to offer students the opportunity to complete a field work course in Sisumiut, Greenland through the DTU network. Students interested in environmental studies, environmental science, engineering or biology can complete a three-week course in arctic technology and create their own field research project (defined before the course).
Example of projects might include:
• Installation of a micro hydropower plant
• Performance and efficiency of a micro wind turbine
• Solar heating in the Arctic
• Mapping
Note: This course is not a DIS course, and is administered by DTU. Please refer to the DTU website to find more information about the course content, price, and how to apply.
Syllabus coming soon.

A documented interest in understanding the underlying concepts, debates, and issues informing various actors, agencies and activities working to realize sustainability goals in Greenland.
Instructors
Course offered by Technical University of Denmark (DTU), open for DIS students. The course takes place during the three first weeks in August.
