Undergraduate Research Experiences (REU) Intern, Columbia Climate School
The Columbia Climate School's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Beyond Basic Science- Connecting Climate to Communities funded by the National Science Foundation
The Columbia Climate School's REU Program is an internship opportunity for both undergraduate students and K-12 educators. These research experiences will introduce participants to transdisciplinary science being done at the Columbia Climate School. Participants will work through the scientific process to better understand the latest climate change research and how it is gathers, analyzed, and communicated for relevant stakeholders and policymakers.
The summer intern program will support participants to engage in team learning around a meaningful project, participate in professional development activities beyond direct research, and build learning and professional relationships through layered mentoring in a world-renowned research environment. Ultimately, the experience will encourage participants to better understand the context, connections, and perspectives of climate change in a way that directly connects science to people and communities.
