EPA Internships

NNEMS is a comprehensive fellowship program managed by EPA's Office of Environmental Education. The purpose of the NNEMS Program is to provide students with practical research opportunities and experiences. Each participating headquarters or regional office develops and sponsors projects for student research. The projects are narrow in scope to allow the student to complete the research by working full-time during the summer and/or part-time during the school year. Research fellowships are available in Environmental Policy, Regulation, and Law; Environmental Management and Administration; Environmental Science; Public Relations and Communications; and Computer Programming and Development. NNEMS fellows receive a stipend at a level determined by the student’s level of education and the duration of the research project. Fellowships are offered to undergraduate and graduate students. The application deadline is in January for all projects in the coming year. Complete program information and application materials can be obtained from the NNEMS website: http://www.epa.gov/enviroed/NNEMS/

IRIS Undergraduate Internship Program

The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology is a university research consortium dedicated to exploring the Earth's interior through the collection and distribution of seismographic data.

For more information: http://www.iris.edu/about/ENO/internship.htm#1

The major objective of the ten week annual Summer Undergraduate Research Focus (SURF)-Anthropogenic Impacts on the Environment program is to provide research experiences and education for undergraduate students.

The common focus of the research activities is investigation of the effects of human activities on the environment,particularly the coastal environment.Research experiences will be mentored by faculty members of the Department of Physical and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

The goals of the program are to improve the critical thinking ability and communication skills of the students, and to provide hands on science experiences to foster life long science learning

www.sci.tanucc.edu/surf

The primary objectives of the NSF-USGS-sponsored Research Experiences for Undergraduates program that is coordinated by the Association of American State Geologists (AASG) are to train students in scientific field techniques (particularly geologic mapping but also other geological and geophysical approaches) and to excite and encourage students to pursue careers in geoscience. We provide aspiring geologists with a field-based research experience with a mentor/field geologist or geophysicist from a state geological survey. We hope that the students will gain some knowledge about field techniques, heighten their enthusiasm for geologic research, and, if they are really interested, pursue a career that involves a strong appreciation of the value of field work.

The mentors serve as not only teachers and mentors but also as scientific collaborators. At the end of the experience, we encourage students to present results of their research to the staff of the state geological survey or at regional scientific meetings. Most student projects run during summer months, but some include field activities during other parts of the year. It is expected that most field projects will be linked to funded research through the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey) or other federal, state, local government or private sector programs.

For placing students, the program is administered by individual state geological surveys. State geological surveys in all 50 states and Puerto Rico are eligible to mentor students through this program; students contact state geological surveys directly to inquire about this and other mentoring and intern programs. Individual state surveys may select students who are recommended from geoscience departments and summer field-camp programs nationwide and from the summer field-training program administered by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. The minimum stipend for a student is $350 per week (some may be considerably more), and most mentoring experiences will last at least eight weeks (a minimum of six weeks is required). Please contact the State Geologist in states in which you would like to have the experience this coming summer or fall. Some state geological surveys are allowed to mentor only students from their states, so you may want to consider contacting the surveys in the states in which you either live or go to college. You can get contact information for each of the state geological surveys from AASG's Web page (http://www.kgs.ukans.edu/AASG/AASG.html).

When you contact a state geological survey, we suggest that you send a brief letter expressing your interests in the AASG-NSF mentoring program and explaining your level of training (how far along you are in your geological course work, particularly, whether you have already taken a summer field camp, courses in geologic mapping, or other courses with significant amounts of field time) and that you ask a professor to send a letter attesting to your abilities and potential. You must still be an undergraduate at the time of the research experience.

NASA has a new Agency-wide program that provides "hands-on", challenging research experiences that stimulate continued undergraduate student interest in such disciplines/fields as engineering, science, mathematics, and information technology; skill areas that are critical to NASA's research and development mission. Specializations include Environmental and Physical Science.

An alternative to regular field camp might be a Hydrogeology field camp where you would get field experience in a variety of hydro methods. Several of them include the OSHA 40-hr certification training which will be required at many jobs. A few good ones I know of are:

Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan

University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Ark

Applications for the NAGT 2007 Field Scholarship Awards will be due on February 16, 2007. Application forms are now available at the NAGT website

http://www.nagt.org/files/nagt/programs/NAGT_Field_Application2.v3.pdf

Please inform your students of this opportunity. Remember that student applications must be endorsed by a NAGT member. If you do not already belong, now will be a good time to sign up (you can do this at http://www.nagt,org ) and join an increasingly active and vital branch of the Geosciences!

MUDLOGGING, TRAINEE OR EXPERIENCED

P recision Well Logging, Inc., foremost in longevity (estab. 1953), and technology (1 st fully computerized, patented logging system), is continually hiring experienced loggers and training qualified candidates for field logging positions in southwestern U.S. and offshore. Precision’s home office is in Houston, Texas.

NOTES TO TRAINEE CANDIDATES: Trainee skills and qualifications might include: graduate degree or undergraduate, oilfield experience, computer use, math, and an interest in learning a unique service to the oil operator.

“Mud Logging” is a slang expression adopted by the oil exploration sector, and is more accurately called “Hydrocarbon Well Logging.” This is a real time logging method using a variety of electronic instruments, analyzers, sensors and apparatus, with formulas, along with a computer, all mounted in a mobile lab placed on the oil exploration drilling site. A broad range of well data is produced, arranged in graph (log) form, presenting geology, hydrocarbon occurrences, formation pressures, depth and drilling rate, formation gases and other data generating a minute-by-minute history of the drilling activity and downhole profiles.

Since the drilling rig and logging unit operate around the clock, the unit must be manned 24 hours per day. Therefore, the two logging personnel assigned to a job must work 12 hours per day each, seven days per week. Time off would occur between jobs or at pre-arranged intervals. Rotation would be arranged for long jobs. For mud logging work, normal work and off-time periods always occur irregularly and in groups of days, not weekdays/weekends. Readers of this ad who cannot work this schedule or be away from home to this extent should not apply.

The training period is usually 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the individual. The trainee is paid an hourly-based salary plus a non-taxable per diem. A raise would occur after training and periodic raises occur thereafter. A $1,000 bonus is paid to qualified individuals at the end of the first year of employment.
