Applications are now being accepted to the 2024 Near Surface Field Experience Program GNOMES
Rutgers University-Newark, Dickinson College, and Towson University are hosting a 2-week long near surface geophysics field camp Oregon Ridge Park in Maryland for first- or second-year undergraduate students interested in the geosciences.
Successful applicants will be paid a $1200 stipend.
Student lodging and food will be in the Towson University dorms and are included.
The application is due in February 28, 2024. please apply at https://forms.gle/PLhiCscfsh2sjEsH6
For more information visit: https://keatinggeophysics.org/gnomes.
Successful applicants will be notified March 2024.
What is geophysics?
Geophysics is the study of the physical structure of the earth using integrates geology, math, and physics to understand how the Earth works. Geophysicists combine laboratory and field experiments with computational and theoretical modeling to understand Earth
processes. The field camp will focus on near-surface geophysics which is used in noninvasive investigations of environmental and engineering problems.
What will I do at the field camp?
Participants will work with graduate student mentors and experts in geophysics to use geophysical methods to study, probe and learn more about dynamic processes in the Earth’s critical zone. Participants will learn about careers in the geosciences and improve
their science communication and computing skills.
Do I need any prior experience?
Students are not expected to have any prior geophysics knowledge before the field camp but must show an interest in the geosciences and be willing to participate in outdoor field work. Other student requirements are:
· Be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States
· Be enrolled as a freshman or sophomore at a 4-year collegiate institution or be enrolled at a 2-year collegiate institution.
· Be available to attend the field camp between from June 10-June 23, 2024.
Preference will be given to undergraduate students who have not yet declared a major and have an interest in the geosciences.
Applications from underrepresented groups, including minorities and people with disabilities, are encouraged.
