Climate Science Research Experiences for Undergraduates
Pennsylvania State University
About this opportunity
The impacts of changing environmental conditions are becoming increasingly apparent with sea-level rise and increases in the number of extreme weather-related events such as floods, wildfires, droughts and storms. An interdisciplinary approach to solving the complex interconnections of the atmosphere, oceans, and land is needed. Urban systems also play an important role, as approximately 80% of the U.S. population lives in cities, and cities are especially prone to negative effects such as heat stress, air pollution, and flooding.This program is a complete immersion in the research process complemented with weekly activities to enhance students' professional development through workshops and seminars on science communication, graduate school, and career opportunities.
