Have you thought about a career in the sciences but are unsure what that might look like, or if it’s the path for you? Are you excited about trying out scientific research? Would you like to be paid to spend your summer doing genuine science, being mentored by professional scientists, and exploring the geosciences (disciplines include atmospheric science, geology, oceanography, water resources, forest and microbial ecology and climate change)? If so, a summer research program might be just right for you!
