The main objective was to study and learn field measurement methods, both in theory and practice, of the cryosphere. Lectures had topics related to snow measurements, remote sensing of snow and atmospheric observations given by several people from FMI and University of Oulu. The BNU students also presented their work related to sea ice, glacier and atmospheric topics in two public seminars.

At the end of the week the inauguration of Joint Centre for Field Observations and Knowledge Disseminations in the Arctic and Boreal Environment  took place. The joint centre aims to enhance the scientific co-operation between FMI and BNU.
