Research Opportunities

All meteorology students are encouraged to get involved in research at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science during their undergraduate careers. A typical research track is to first enroll in ATM371 'Reading Topics' (1 cr), allowing them to write a paper on a topic of their interest under the guidance of an advisor. Thereafter research credit is accrued through enrollment in ATM411 'Special Topics', for 1-3 credits. This can culminate in a senior thesis, for the equivalent of six credits. Other research opportunities include paid REUs (Research Experience for Undergraduates), both at RSMAS for example at South Florida's Cloud-Aerosol-Rain Observatory, and at summer internships at other institutions.
