3ci is pleased to recognize the achievements of two of our researchers who have been awarded funding through the Northern Scientific Training Program (NTSP). Dr. Chris Burn, Professor in Carleton University’s Department of Geography and NSERC Northern Research Chair, announced on April 9, 2009 that Jennifer Aslopand Sheena Kennedy would be amongst the ten Carleton University recipients of this important support.

The Northern Scientific Training Program (NSTP) is managed by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) as part of its mandate to foster science and technology in the Canadian North. The Program’s aim is to promote interest in northern studies, and provide opportunities for advanced and graduate students to obtain experience and professional training in the North.
