University of Michigan Biological Station NSF-REU: Biosphere Atmosphere Interactions in a Changing Global Environment

Located in northern Michigan on Douglas Lake, the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) is a summer internship program for students interested in engaging in biological research.

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) is a competitive program funded by the National Science Foundation (Award No. 1262634). Biosphere-Atmosphere-Hydrosphere Interactions in a Changing Global Environment provides a truly interdisciplinary and hands-on experience in a field biology and atmospheric science. Students engage with all phases of research, from hypothesis formulation and data gathering to analysis, interpretation, and communication of scientific findings. During this nine-week program, students will:

• Work closely with a selected mentor/professor as part of an ongoing research project
• Design, conduct, analyze, and report on a research project of their own
• Participate in special workshops and group discussions designed to provide the philosophical bases and technical tools needed to carry out scientific research
• Contribute to the body of knowledge that can help address many of Earth's most important environmental challenges.
