Georgia Tech EAS REU Program - Summer 2026

Georgia Tech Broadening Participation in Atmospheric Science, Oceanography, and Geosciences

Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program

Program Dates: Summer 2027 dates will be posted around the end of the 2026 calendar year

Campus Move-In Date: TBD

REU Program Orientation: TBD

Undergraduates are invited to apply for a ten-week research program hosted by the Georgia Tech School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) during Summer 2027.

Working under the supervision of a faculty member or research scientist, participants will focus on a single research project but also gain a broad perspective on research in the earth and atmospheric sciences by participating in a dynamic research environment. This interdisciplinary REU program has projects spanning topics related to the geosciences, planetary science, atmospheric sciences, oceanography, and climate science. In addition to full time research, undergraduate researchers will participate in a number of professional development activities, seminars with faculty and research scientists, presentation and research poster symposiums, and social activities with other summer REU students.

Participants will receive a stipend of $7,000, travel allowances, and apartment-style housing on the Georgia Tech campus. Participants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at a U.S. college or university (this includes remaining enrolled within an undergraduate degree program throughout the duration of the REU program).  Note that students attending colleges of Universities outside of the U.S. are eligible if they are U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.

 

Below is the list of mentors that were available during Summer 2026 - the Summer 2027 list will be updated around the end of the 2026 calendar year.

 

If a faculty member is not listed, the faculty member is still eligible to host an REU student. Please consider the faculty member's research program at http://www.eas.gatech.edu/research
