Students will be trained in laboratory and field methods applied to studies of global change and its impacts and will work on independent projects under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Project areas are interdisciplinary and encompass the fields of chemistry, biology, ecology, urban ecology, policy, civil engineering, marine science, and geological sciences. Students will participate in a weekly research seminar series, portfolio creation, and professional development activities. Students will also participate in field excursions related to scientific research. These 1-2 day activities may require physical exertion involving hiking, caving, camping, and/or boat rides in hot and humid weather. The summer program will conclude with a research poster session and open house. Your summer research will be in one of four major themes: -Impacts on Ecosystems -Impacts on Watersheds and the Land Surface -Campus Sustainability -Reconstructing Past Global Change Each REU student will be part of a separate research group headed by a faculty mentor, but all will come together regularly for cross-cohort seminars and field experiences and to examine and participate in the projects of your colleagues. Please note: this summer’s program is dependent on award and receipt of funds by the University of Texas at Austin from the National Science Foundation. The application deadline is FEBRUARY 16, 2015.
