Description:
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Oceanography (SURFO) program is a 10-week research experience designed primarily for science, math and engineering students who will have just completed their junior year of undergraduate coursework. Students from ancillary disciplines or with fewer years of college coursework are welcome to apply. The program can include laboratory work, data analysis, instrument development, dynamical modeling, even a research cruise.

Summer Fellows may be involved in projects related to:

-Physical, Biological, Chemical, or Geological Oceanography

-Geophysics/Geodynamics

-Population Genetics / Biodiversity

-Geobiology

-Atmospheric Chemistry/Meteorology

-Remote Sensing/Ocean Engineering

Our program emphasizes the quantitative aspects of Oceanography, so many student projects involve fluid dynamics, marine geophysics, or numerical/physical modeling. We also encourage process-oriented interdisciplinary research projects that take full advantage of the expertise at the Graduate School of Oceanography, the Department of Ocean Engineering, and local federal laboratories.

Students receive a stipend of $6,000, housing located on the Narragansett Bay Campus.
