Research Experience for Undergraduates: Climate Change
Climate Change: Adaptation and Mitigation
The Kansas State University Climate Change Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) offers students an opportunity to work on two of he world's most challenging problems, the accelerating impacts of global climate change and the pressing need for food and energy security. Global climate change is critically important for terrestrial ecosystems, which provide food, fiber, and environmental services to human societies. Solutions to these challenges can be obtained only by concerted, comprehensive research efforts to understand and to address the looming issues of global climate change and the need for food and bioenergy production. The Impacts Working Group will assess the impacts of climate changes on in Kansas, including farmlands on indigenous soil. The Mitigation Working Group will provide for more efficient crop and soil management practices to target soil C-sequestration and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Projects will be matched between faculty interests and student interests.
The program will run from May 28 to August 2, 2012. Stipend will be $4500 plus travel to a professional meeting after the summer program. To apply send a resume and cover letter outlining your research interests to archibbs@ksu.edu with REU Application as the subject line.
