Are you looking for a summer research internship studying ocean, coastal or environmental science? I invite you to check out the Maryland Sea Grant Summer REU program. We bring upper-level undergraduate students to the

Chesapeake Bay to conduct individual research projects with a scientist-mentor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. 

During this 12-week program (May 21–August 13), each student will work with a science mentor on an individual research project at one of two marine labs located on Chesapeake Bay: the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s* (UMCES) Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons, Maryland, or its Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge, Maryland.

Research Areas Include:

- benthic environment

- climate change

- coastal observing systems

- environmental chemistry

- environmental contaminants

- estuarine processes

- fisheries

- modeling and analysis

- molecular biology and genetics

- physical oceanography

- submerged aquatic vegetation

The Maryland Sea Grant Program, with support from the National Science Foundation, will provide each fellow with a stipend of $6,000, housing costs and round-trip travel expenses
