Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Research Opportunities

Turn what you've learned in the classroom into practical experience and work side-by-side with Environmental Science, Geology, and Meteorology instructors on ongoing research projects, including:

• Modeling the fate and transport of PFAS chemicals in groundwater in southwest Michigan.
• Determining trace element distribution in spodumene using cathodoluminescence, portable x-ray fluorescence, and a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
• Evaluating porosity in the Antrim Shale.
• Investigating arsenic biochemistry in rice fields.
• Climate and snowfall monitoring in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
• Sampling boundary layer variability across lake-breeze fronts as part of the Student Training for Observational Research in Meteorology project.
• Analyzing return intervals for hail size over US cities.
