Prospective Interns

In general, we host high school and college interns only during the summer, and we entertain applications for these positions only through the programs noted here.

High school students should apply through the ASE program.

College students should apply to the EBS/CMOP program).

2009 CMOP Summer Interns High school interns from Summer 2009. The Division of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems (EBS) and the Center for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction (CMOP) accept interns through the Saturday Academy Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) Program.

MERL CD-ROM

MERL is an educational CD-ROM that presents chemical concepts embedded in a story of environmental technology development. The story involves accidental discovery, proof-of-concept, commercialization, and acceptance of a new remediation technique involving scrap iron. The science associated with this new technology is multidisciplinary, and includes aspects of chemistry, geology, materials science, and engineering. Selected topics from each discipline are presented as part of modules on contaminant hydrology, environmental chemistry, corrosion engineering, etc. The material is presented in a way that adapts to the level and needs of students and teachers.

Development of MERL was funded by the Dreyfus Foundation, and with additional support from ETI and other sponsors, we printed and distributed (for free) over 2000 copies. There are about 100 copies still available. To request a copy of MERL, send a mailing address to merl@ebs.ogi.edu.
