Description

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 program is structured with five interrelated components: The practice of research on individual projects, the context of that research within the broader interdisciplinary Earth system sciences framework, the relevance of that research in terms of environmental and societal challenges to foster practical solutions, professional development related to successful pursuit of Earth and environmental science careers, and the ability to effectively communicate the process, importance, and findings of research to broad audiences. Students will conduct their own research under a mentor, interact with other participants and scientists at B2 and UA, and present research findings in a formal symposium setting.
