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.

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.
