2016 Climate and Life Interns
Summer interns spend four weeks at Lamont working individually and in small groups on research projects designed and led by our scientists. By the end of their internship, students understand what a career in science involves. They also gain critical science skills, including how to read research papers, perform measurements, collect and present data, and report on their research.
In 2016, student research projects focus on a range of Earth science topics, including climate change, oceanography, geochemistry, ocean and life sciences, marine genomics, tree ring research, seismology, and geophysics.
Read more about their research in the article, A Summer of Hands-on, Minds-on Science.
