This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $433,709 to establish an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site at the University at Buffalo focused on interdisciplinary climate and geological hazards research. The grant will support 10-week research projects for undergraduate students, where they will work in interdisciplinary teams with faculty mentors from different fields. Students will develop skills in areas like science communication, graduate school preparation, and proposal writing. Key research topics include glacier lake outbursts, lake effect snow, climate impacts on agriculture, and forest dieback. The award reflects NSF's goals of expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research across atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
