Undergraduate Research Opportunities Studying Caribbean Coral Reefs
Caribbean coral reefs are some of the most diverse and fascinating ecosystems in the world. Today these reefs are threatened by several environmental factors, mostly related to land use in the region that adds to the amount of particulate matter in the water column. A joint study with University of California, San Diego and University of Massachusetts, Boston is exploring corals to understand the role of particulate matter in reef ecosystems. Opportunities exist for two undergraduate students to get involved in this fascinating new study. There is ample scope of working with coral samples, learning cutting edge laboratory work, research experience, potential publications and summer travel to UC San Diego.
If interested, please contact
