Overall Research Project Description I am looking for assistance in one of the following two areas for the project.

Activity Development:
In this project, we will create a geoscience summer camp program focused on local environmental challenges that will be implemented with middle and high school students in the Boys and Girls Club of the Big Bend. The aim of this project is to provide exposure and hands-on-research opportunities in geoscience to historically underrepresented students. The project will develop summer camp activities focused on the following 4 topics: rising sea level and coastal management, ground water and the karst aquifer, river management, and natural hazards (such as storms). This project is flexible and I am open to allowing my UROP mentee to select which topic they would like to focus on.

Social Media and Video Development:
For this project we would like to develop a webpage and a couple of short video footage/ video content that we could use to promote the project. We have the raw footage available to be edited and curated into final content.

Research Tasks Activity Development: Literature review, summer camp activity development, piloting activities developed for the program.
Social media/video development: video data review, editing, curation of final product.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Ability to work independently and in groups.
Time management skills.
Strong communication skills.

Mentoring Philosophy My mentoring philosophy is to provide an inclusive environment where all members of the team are encouraged and supported on their academic journey. I believe that everyone has valuable thoughts and suggestions that can enhance academic research.

Please provide a link to your publications, a video clip, or a website for your research project (if applicable): {Empty}

Please add any additional information here (if applicable): I indicated partially-remote, however, I am open to discussing fully remote opportunities as needed.
