Research Experiences for Undergraduates
Each year of the project, COSZO hosts interns through its Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program. Students conduct research related to COSZO through the UW Applied Physics Laboratory Summer Undergraduate Research Program and go to sea with the annual UW School of Oceanography VISIONS Expedition.
