DEADLINE EXTENDED -- National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates -- Geospatial Research and Mapping (GRAM) - Kauai

 

http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cla/departments/geography/nsf-reu/

Geography and Anthropology undergraduates,  as well as others interested in the study of landscapes, may be interested in a new summer field program on geospatial research and mapping (GRAM) that will take place at both California State University Long Beach and the National Tropical Botanical Gardens (NTBG) on Kauai this summer.  This field research program is a joint effort between faculty in the Department of Geography and Anthropology at CSULB and is focused on the use of cutting edge geospatial techniques (e.g., satellite and aerial imagery, the use of UAVs, geographic information systems, spectral analyses, topography generation, landscape analyses, near surface remote sensing).  The research being undertaken by GRAM includes the study of prehistoric landscapes as well as contemporary resources and environments. This year's GRAM project will take place June 11 to July 7 and include training and research both in Long Beach and the National Tropical Botanical Gardens in Kauai. The NSF-REU program provides funding for student to cover travel to and from Kauai, housing, tuition costs as well as a small stipend. Applications are competitive and open to undergraduates across the country. Note that students must be enrolled as undergraduates in order to meet the requirements of the REU program -- graduated seniors are not eligible per NSF rules. 

 

The Application Deadline has been extended to March 2^nd . For additional information about the program please see: http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cla/departments/geography/nsf-reu/
