StudentsRebecca Anderson (INSTAAR) holdsup a surface marker to locate the siteof an ablation stake on one of severalrapidly melting ice caps on the northof Baffin Island, Arctic Canada,May 2006. Photo: J. Briner(University of Buffalo).Graduate and undergraduate students are an integralpart of INSTAAR, and they play important roles in theresearch conducted by the institute and its members.INSTAAR students are registered for degree programs in anappropriate department and college. The graduate studenthave a weekly seminar series at INSTAAR, fostering contactsbetween the students in those different departments.An annual retreat at the Mountain Research Station forincoming students and teaching faculty as well as a seniorstudent mentorship program have been established to facilitateintegration into INSTAAR. Financial support is availablefor INSTAAR graduate students as research assistantsemployed on research grants. Undergraduate support isavailable through special programs sponsored by INSTAAR,the university, industry, and agencies such as the NationalScience Foundation and are designed to encourage undergraduateparticipation in research. They include the SummerUndergraduate Research Program (SURE), SummerUndergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF), SummerMinority Access Research Training (SMART),Undergraduate Research Opportunities (UROP), UniversityMentoring Program (UMP), and Research Experience forUndergraduates (REU). Undergraduate research may lead tohonors theses and internships. These programs have contributedgreatly to the feasibility of including undergraduatestudents in INSTAAR research and to encouraging undergraduatestudents to continue to advanced degrees.Prospective graduate students should contact the departmentthat they wish to enter and apply for admission to theUniversity of Colorado. Suitable departments include CEAEngineering, EPO Biology, Geography, Geological Sciences,and Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (PAOS).Applications forms are available from the Graduate School,30 UCB, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0030.For specific INSTAAR-related questions, send email toinstaar-info@instaar.colorado.edu or contact individualINSTAAR professors directly (see the INSTAAR website athttp://instaar.colorado.edu). Marcia Kelly is the interim liai-son for graduate students and departments(Marcia.Kelly@Colorado.edu).Graduate StudentsStudent name, Degree, Department, Advisor.
