Sensors in Earth and Space Science – How We Observe Our Planet, University of New Hampshire
University of New Hampshire
Durham, New Hampshire
An REU is a “Research Experience for Undergraduates”, and is a program sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Here, we aim to help students identify if STEM majors and careers are right for them. Over the course of 10 weeks (June 3 – August 9, 2024), you will learn about the research questions that can be addressed by the type of sensors used in your mentor’s lab, how to collect, maintain, and analyze data, and finally how to present your findings to peers. This includes sensors deployed in ocean settings, forests, rivers, and even satellites in space. Many projects will involve computer programming skill building, and some will include field and/or lab work. You will also learn about data stewardship, research integrity, and collaborative science. REU students will work alongside graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and other scientific professionals. Each student will work on a specific project with a faculty mentor and will present a research poster to peer researchers at a multi-internship end of summer symposium. This opportunity will be located at the University of New Hampshire main campus in Durham, NH. Learn more at https://eos.unh.edu/opportunities/earth-oceans-space-reu-program
