"The hands-on experience I've gained through CIRES while working toward my master's degree in geography at CU-Boulder is invaluable. I spent my first spring doing fieldwork on the Greenland ice sheet with some of the world's top cryospheric researchers. I don't know where else I would get this kind of opportunity!"

Kevin, masters candidate, geography
