Research Experiences for Undergraduates
Paid summer research placements for U.S. undergraduates in marine geophysics, seismology, instrumentation, and ocean observation science.
Each year of the project, COSZO hosts interns through its Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program. Students participate through the UW Applied Physics Laboratory Summer Undergraduate Research Program and join the annual UW School of Oceanography VISIONS Expedition.
