Description:
The Center for Hydrology, Soil Climatology, and Remote Sensing's (HSCaRS) at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville conducts an Undergraduate Summer Enrichment Program. This NASA-sponsored program provides summer research opportunities for undergraduate minority and women students in Earth system science. Interns are selected from a pool of highly qualified student applicants from across the nation. This program provides for an eight-week period of residence at Alabama A&M University, where students have the opportunity to work with an A&M or GHCC researcher/mentor in general research areas such as micrometeorology, soil data analysis, hydrologic modeling, geographic information systems, soil hydrology, or computer science. Research papers resulting from the interns' summer projects have been presented at various national conferences . Posters describing the program are mailed in January. Applications for the summer 2000 program are due by March 1, 2000.
