June 1 - August 6, 2010


The 2010 JCET Earth Science Explorers Program provides undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in Earth science and atmospheric physics research. Students are matched with a NASA Goddard Space Flight Center researcher and/or UMBC faculty member and work on a research project at the UMBC campus in Baltimore or at NASA GSFC in Greenbelt, Maryland. Topics of Earth science research may include:

  • Remote sensing of Earth
  • Hydrology
  • Global climate analysis and modeling
  • Vegetation and ecosystem monitoring
  • Tropical precipitation and storm systems
  • Coastal processes/sea level rise
  • Volcanic hazards and climate impacts
  • Remote sensing of planetary atmospheres
  • Space Geodesy, Geophysics, GPS, orbits
