Dear CUR Members,

I would like to bring to your attention the following research opportunities for undergraduate students in the geosciences and related fields for summer 2014.

Each year the Keck Geology Consortium has undergraduate research opportunities for approximately 51 undergraduate students in a wide variety of geological/environmental science sub-disciplines and locations.

Funding for this program comes from the NSF-REU program and the 18 member institutions; NSF funding is pending.  The Consortium is committed to accepting up to 30% non-Keck Member school students (15 slots). The students should be current juniors (seniors in 2014-2015) and US citizens or permanent residents.

The program includes 4 weeks of summer research (field and/or lab work depending on the project), continuing research during the academic year (jointly advised by a project faculty member and a research advisor at the students home institution), attendance at the annual Keck Geology Consortium Symposium, and a publication in the annual Keck Geology Consortium proceedings volume.  Students receive a $1,500 stipend and typically all travel and living expenses are provided for.

This year we have an exciting range of projects in many different sub-disciplines (geomorphology, volcanology, structure/tectonics, climate change, geological hazards, ecology, and more), and in a wide range of locations (Iceland, Colorado, Alaska, Peru, Montana, Belize)...see our project descriptions at http://www.keckgeology.org/2014-2015-projects

I have attached a flier for the 2014-2015 projects (pdf format).  Please post or distribute this information to any students who are eligible and who might be interested.  We strongly encourage students from underrepresented groups to apply.

Detailed information is available at: http://keckgeology.org/
The application deadline is February 3rd, 2014. The application process is online.

Please address any questions to Dr. Robert J. Varga, Keck Geology Consortium Director (bob.varga at pomona.edu<mailto:bob.varga at pomona.edu>), or Carol Morgan, Keck Geology Consortium Administrative Assistant (keckgeology at pomona.edu<mailto:keckgeology at pomona.edu>).

Thanks,

Robert J. Varga, Keck Director.
