Help conduct research on the effects of climate change on New Mexico's water this summer!
May 30 to July 30, 2011
Welcome to the web site for Climate Change and Water in New Mexico, A Summer Research Opportunities Program for New Mexico Undergraduate Students.
This summer, 10 undergraduates will have the opportunity to conduct research on climate change and water-related topics at one of New Mexico's research universities or research institutions. Each participant will be part of a team of faculty and students working together on one of five research projects. Each project is described in detail on the research projects page. In addition to research activities, students will take part in a weeklong workshop on climate change, hydrology, and water quality and participate in a state-wide undergraduate research conference.
The program begins on May 30th and ends on July 30th. All participants will receive a stipend of $4,100, free housing on campus, a meal allowance, and reimbursement for travel expenses (limitations apply).
Eligibility - All students who are enrolled as an undergraduate in any of New Mexico's public and private two and four-year colleges (including all campuses of Dine' College) except the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, and New Mexico Tech are eligible to participate in this program. All students must also be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and must not earn their bachelor's degree before July 30, 2011. We will begin evaluating applications on April 1, 2011. Applications received by that date will receive priority. Application instructions and forms are located on the application materials page. Students from outside New Mexico are not eligible for this program. However, they can apply to a separate summer program at New Mexico Tech: Interdisciplinary Science for the Environment. Students applying for this program will automatically considered for both programs.
This program is funded by the National Science Foundation through New Mexico EPSCoR and New Mexico Tech. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Michael Pullin at climate@nmt.edu or (575) 835-5275.
