The Earth is habitable through feedbacks between biological and geological processes. In this REU we will study questions like:
- What controls the temperature of the Earth?
- What controls nutrient concentrations in forests?
- How does the composition of the deep Earth influence the composition of the atmosphere?
- Why does the Earth have water on the surface?
- How does plate tectonics influence long-term climate?
Our REU program is 10 weeks- May 31 through August 6, 2021
Students will be provided a summer stipend of $600 per week for 10 weeks, as well as a supplement for housing.
Applications will open in early November 2020. The preliminary application deadline is 15 February 2021. The final deadline is 1 March 2021.
