The ProgramThe University of Colorado invites undergraduates to apply for a summer Research Experience for highly motivated students interested in solar and space physics. Students will work with scientists at the University of Colorado and at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) and National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), and NWRA's Colorado Research Associates on projects spanning the field of solar and space physics, from instrument hardware to data analysis to modeling of the Sun-Earth system. The program begins with a summer school in solar and space physics and continues with seminars and discussions while you work at one of the participating laboratories. Additionally, the HAO summer undergraduate program will be run in conjunction with the LASP REU program, providing peer-to-peer collaboration opportunities. At the end of the summer, you will present your research findings, and the best projects will be selected for submission to a national scientific conference. |
