Undergraduate Meteorology Research Opportunities
Our meteorology students and faculty work together on research projects that contribute to our understanding of atmospheric science. These projects allow students to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom, and give them practice in the process of conducting and presenting research. Recently, the following projects have been completed and presented by CMU Meteorology students.
