This program provides students the opportunity to study modern glacial processes at the Matanuska Glacier, in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska. Each student is expected to identify and carry through with a field-based research project, culminating in a senior thesis and public presentation of results at a professional meeting. Students from any college or university are invited to apply. Preference is given to geology majors between their junior and senior year. The program is 6 weeks long during the summer.
Students receive a stipend and all travel and field expenses are covered.
