Undergraduate Students Sharing in the Geosciences: Promoting Scientific Research Collaborations Across Disciplines
Session ID#: 162214
Session Description:
Undergraduate research opportunities in the geosciences provide experiences where students can engage in meaningful relationships with faculty mentors. Students also gain much from interactions with other students across disciplines as valuable feedback is exchanged and connections made, possibly leading to professional collaboration. This session invites undergraduates to share their research on topics across the geosciences as we highlight the work of undergraduate students and their research facilitators. We encourage successful multidisciplinary projects that provide increased opportunities for research collaborations either with fellow students or with mentors.
