The Institute library has 16,000 volumes and 350 journals and magazines. The Geophysical Institute has about 60 faculty members on joint appointment with either the Physics, Chemistry, or Geology-Geophysics departments and a total staff of over 300. Students will be assigned to work under the supervision of a faculty member and will be given a research project that can be completed during the summer. Each student will have a chance to participate in the type of research activity in which he or she would participate as a graduate student and will work alongside graduate students and other members of the research staff. A major portion of the travel expenses will also be paid.
Campus housing is available for a reasonable fee and strongly recommended.
Students are invited to participate in all social and recreational programs available to University of Alaska Fairbanks summer session students. Women and minority students are especially encouraged to apply.
