Our 8-week summer fellowship program enables eight undergraduates to conduct scientific research in conjunction with a faculty member in the Department of Earth System Science (ESS). The program theme is biogeochemical cycling and climate change, with diverse research projects involving studies of atmospheric chemistry, ecosystem dynamics, air-sea and air-land interactions in the context of a changing climate. Through lecture series and reading group activities students gain an understanding of the Earth System and insights into cutting edge research taking place within the department. This program is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The fellowship program for 2008 (June 23 - August 15) provides a stipend ($3200), dorm housing, meal plan, and assistance with travel expenses to attend the summer program and possibly to present research results at a scientific meeting. The deadline for receipt of applications is February 1, 2008.
