Hubbard Brook Research Experience for Undergraduates

A Summer Research Experience at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Investigating and Communicating Change in Ecosystems

Plymouth State University, in cooperation with the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation, scientists of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, and the U.S. Forest Service, offers a unique undergraduate summer research experience based at the Hubbard Brook Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The program emphasizes the societal relevance of ecology and ecosystem science through both a research mentorship and an outreach partnership with an organization engaged in communicating ecosystem information to broad audiences. 

The Hubbard Brook Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) is designed to appeal to students interested in both ecosystem research and, importantly, the interpretation and communication of science to society in general. Students interested in using science to address environmental issues, as well as those pursuing careers in resource management, teaching, and applied environmental science will find the program to be rewarding and challenging.
