Overall Research Project Description | In this project, we will create a geoscience summer camp program focused on local environmental challenges that will be implemented with pre-college 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 high school 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 at its very early stage and I am open to allowing my UROP mentee to select which topic they would like to focus on. |
Research Tasks | Literature review, summer camp activity development, piloting activities developed for the program. |
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. |
