2023 DEEPS-Leadership Alliance REU
Program Overview
Research projects for the summer of 2023 addressed key questions about: how Earth’s climate has changed in the past and the impacts of future climate change; the processes that control volcanic eruptions and how volcanoes form on Earth and other planetary bodies; the processes that created the structure of the Earth’s interior and how the strength of the rocks inside the Earth affect feedbacks with melting ice sheets and rising sea-levels; air and water quality with a focus on urban landscapes.
These research projects had implications for societally-relevant topics such as climate change and its impacts including sea-level rise, wildfires, and shifts in vegetation; air and water quality; and volcanic eruptions.
