Undergraduate Earth, Atmospheric, Ocean, and Space Science Research and Outreach Posters
Session ID#: 72873
Session Description:
This poster session will bring together undergraduate student presenters with faculty co-authors to highlight Earth, atmospheric, ocean, and space science research experiences and outreach efforts. All undergraduate students from community colleges to tier-one research institutions are encouraged to disseminate their original, ongoing, and completed research projects, including group projects from a classroom setting or in a research group. The first author and presenter on the abstract must be an undergraduate student. This poster session is co-sponsored by the Council on Undergraduate Research-Geoscience Division, UNAVCO, UCAR â SOARS Program, and the American Geophysical Union.
