There are an increasing number of high school, undergraduate, and post-baccalaureate students interested in field experiences in glacial environments. We wish we could support all the students who could succeed at JIRP!

If JIRP doesn’t fit into your world right now (for whatever reason), we encourage students interested in Earth and glacier science to check out these other options:

Inspiring Girls*: Free field experiences all over the world for high school-age students who identify as girls or minoritized genders.

Wrangell Mountains Center College Field Studies Program: Similar length program to JIRP for undergraduate students. Focus is on the glacial and periglacial environments of the Wrangell Mountains in Southcentral Alaska.
