A great opportunity for *both* undergraduates and graduate students
can be found below. Undergrads, if you want to boost your resume, a
small research project would be a great way to do it. And if it
were funded by The Explorers Club, wow, even better! But you have
to make the effort and apply. Talk with one of the Geology or ESCI
faculty members if you are interested, and want to know how to
proceed. Good luck!<br>
