Abstract
The Svalbard REU Program: A High-Latitude Undergraduate Research Experience in Glacial, Marine, and Lacustrine Processes Relevant to Arctic Climate Change
Highlights
By Steve Roof, Al Werner, Julie Brigham-Grette, Ross Powell, and Mike Retelle
This total immersion experience for the students in our program includes being surrounded by scientists from different nations associated with the University Centre on Svalbard and the international research station in Ny Ålesund
We seek to derive relationships from modern processes that will allow the sediment records to be better interpreted as proxies for late Holocene climate changes
Summary
By Steve Roof, Al Werner, Julie Brigham-Grette, Ross Powell, and Mike Retelle The Svalbard Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, initiated in 2003, provides a unique, field-based research experience for US undergraduates in Arctic Quaternary geology and climate change. Our program has two main purposes: to train young scientists in cutting-edge, Arctic field research methods, and to reconstruct climate changes of the past 5,000 years from layered sediments in lakes and fjords.
