Cornell Geopaths Geoscience Learning Ecosystem
Program Dates: 4 June – 4 August 2023
Application Deadline: 15 February

We are reaching out on behalf of the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department at Cornell University about a new internship program in the department. This is a paid 9-week summer internship at Cornell called CorGGLE (Cornell Geopaths Geoscience Learning Ecosystem). This program is funded by the National Science Foundation GeoPaths program. Please forward this email to individuals or groups of students that would be interested in this opportunity.
CorGGLE allows students and recent graduates from non-geoscience fields to explore opportunities for geoscience graduate study, specifically giving them exposure to myriad socially relevant careers in the geosciences.
Students will work on a research project with distinguished faculty and staff, present their work, learn about geoscience careers from practitioners, receive training in professional skills, and network with others in their field of interest through weekly luncheons.
Research and career topics include:
·Energy & Water Resources
·Environmental Science
·Climate Change
·Natural Hazards
·Remote Sensing & Geographical Information Systems
Students from under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply and those with non-geoscience majors including: environmental science, physics, chemistry, geography, engineering, math, applied math, biology and computer science as well as social and behavioral sciences.
Apply Online by 15 February: https://sites.coecis.cornell.edu/eascorggle/

Program Description
CU LSAMP-REU is a paid summer research opportunity that provides undergraduate participants the opportunity to work with distinguished faculty and staff as well as network with others in their field of interest through weekly luncheons.
Undergraduate students interested in gaining a deeper understanding in an engineering-related field have the opportunity to conduct and present research over a nine-week duration under the auspices of a Cornell Engineering faculty research mentor.
Through this one-on-one partnership, participants will gain theoretical knowledge and practical training in academic research and scientific experimentation. CU LSAMP-REU was developed to aid in the retention of traditionally underrepresented minority groups in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Eligibility:
- Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident and African American, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native, or Native Pacific Islander
- Must be in good academic standing with a GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Have completed at least two (2) semesters of college
