Green Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban Environments (GI4SUrE) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) is a 10-week summer program designed to expose and immerse 10 undergraduate students to unique green infrastructure (GI) research. Green infrastructure is a way to build better infrastructure, addressing the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenge to restore and improve urban infrastructure. This program lets students perform field, laboratory, or modeling studies to explore how GI can mitigate the effects of urban runoff on surface water quality and hydrology. This research will affect not only eastern Tennessee, but any area that deals with urban stormwater runoff. Students will also dive into a professional and social atmosphere that will develop their fundamental research methodologies and critical thinking skills.

Synopsis: The Biosphere 2 REU provides undergraduates an opportunity to conduct guided research in environmental and Earth systems science at a leading and unique research institution. The sponsor is recruiting a small group of environmental science students for 2021 summer and are particularly interested in applications from indigenous students and students from other underrepresented groups. Students will receive stipends of $6,000 for the 10-week research internship, housing on the Biosphere 2 campus, funding for travel to and from Tucson, AZ and a food allowance. For 2021, the program runs from June 7 to August 13. Students will be selected from across the country to participate in the program. They will conduct research at Biosphere 2.

***The Georgia Tech EAS REU will allow participants to participate virtually. Participants may be allowed to stay on campus for the program if allowed by the university. All REU programming details are subject to change based on the evolving COVID-19 situation.***

Do you have an interest in researching environmental problems, including global climate change?
Do you have interest in any of the following areas?
• Atmospheric Chemistry
• Dynamics of Weather and Climate
• Biogeochemistry
• Geophysics
• Oceanography and Climate
• Paleoclimate
• Space and Planetary Science
• Remote Sensing

All STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) majors are encouraged to apply to participate in a ten-week undergraduate research program hosted by Georgia Tech, Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse College. Participants will gain broad perspectives by participating in a dynamic research environment while working with a faculty mentor at one of the four partner institutions. The program also includes several professional development activities, “research horizons” faculty seminars, and a research symposium. Participants will receive a stipend of $6,000 for the ten-week program, a travel allowance, and housing on the Georgia Tech campus. Participants must be U.S citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at a U.S. college or university.

Applications are now being accepted for the Summer REU Program in Marine Science at the University of Delaware, an NSF-Funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program.

Interns will work with faculty in a research-intensive setting on a research topic in chemical, physical, or biological oceanography, marine biology or marine geology. In addition to hands-on research experience, student support includes a $6,400 stipend, campus housing, and travel assistance. The deadline to apply is Friday February 12, 2021.

Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Ocean Sciences, this REU program supports ten undergraduate students to conduct research in marine science. The program will take place at the University of Delaware’s Hugh R. Sharp campus in the beach community of Lewes, located on the shores of the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean.

More information and the application can be found on our website. You may also be interested to hear directly from former interns, or see one of our field trips on the R/V Daiber on the Delaware Bay.

Synopsis

Undergraduate students who are interested in doing research about environmental systems or sustainability can apply to do the Research Experience for Undergraduates program with the University of Arkansas. The program will take place during the summer of 2021, in Fayetteville, AR. If an on-campus program is not an option due to COVID, they will be hosting a virtual REU.  Students will receive $5,500 over the course of the summer, free food and housing, plus travel funds.

Purdue University will be again hosting an undergraduate summer research program in digital agriculture in 2021 supported by a USDA REEU grant. We are optimistic that we will be able to have an in-person experience, but will fall back to virtual again, if necessary. This will be the third year of this program.

Information about the summer internship, how to apply, etc. can be found at the URL below:

https://ag.purdue.edu/digital-ag-resources/undergraduate-summer-research-program-in-digital-ag/

Applications are due midnight Monday, Feb 8, 2021

Students will learn to:

• understand application program interfaces (APIs) well enough to collect data and wrangle data into informed decisions
• perform proper statistical analysis and be able to communicate process and results
• understand the industry opportunities in agri-business data science

The project will address a variety of the AFRI farm bill priority areas with focus on Cyberinformatics and Tools for Food and Agricultural Data Analysis and Data-Driven Applications (FACT). With the intellectual focus on digital agriculture and data analytics, we will introduce algorithmic thinking in basic elements, and will empower those students to integrate different concepts into their own research area and to communicate that effectively.

The Purdue Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR) will facilitate housing for interns, social activities, and tours of agricultural research centers.

The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology (i.e., Georgia Tech) is now accepting applications for the “Georgia Tech Broadening Participation in Atmospheric Science, Oceanography and Geosciences Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program.”  The link to the program website is here: https://easreu.eas.gatech.edu/

Rising sophomore, junior and senior undergraduate students that are U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and are enrolled within an undergraduate degree program at a U.S. college or University are eligible to apply.  The application deadline is March 1st, 2020.

Feel free to contact Dr. Zachary Handlos (zachary.handlos@eas.gatech.edu) with any questions that you may have about the REU program.
