About us
-Explore Antarctica for the oldest possible ice core to discover what Earth's climate was like over 1 million years ago.
-Share how our ice core research helps answer questions about the current state of climate change through effective science communication.
-Increase the diversity of future polar researchers through inclusive educational programs like this REU!
What will your summer look like with the COLDEX REU?
-You will work in a COLDEX research lab with COLDEX researchers working on topics in either Antarctic ice core chemical analysis, oldest ice exploration, ice flow modeling, or science communication. Note: the COLDEX REU does not include field work in Antarctica.
-You will participate in an online orientation at the beginning of the summer and meet virtually each week with the REU cohort for professional development workshops and other group activities.
-You will have the opportunity to get involved in discussions about the future of COLDEX research through monthly research seminars and meetings.
What does participation in the COLDEX REU include?
-A $6,000 stipend for approximately 10 weeks of full-time research work (exact dates of the REU will depend on student and mentor agreed schedule).
-Roundtrip travel to your host institution.
-Up to $150 per week for housing at your host institution.
-Roundtrip travel to the in-person COLDEX annual meeting in September at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon.
