Summer 2026
The Summer 2026 application is now live! However, our summer 2026 program is dependent on a renewal of our REU Site grant.
About Our REU
We have an exciting summer research program that pairs undergraduate students with research mentors to conduct a project in the wide-ranging meteorology, climate, radar engineering, geography, environmental sustainability, and interdisciplinary topics being researched here. Our mentors come from all of the University of Oklahoma’s Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences, as well as related organizations in and around the University Research Campus. Students are paid a stipend, have free housing, a travel allowance to/from Norman, OK, and travel allowance to present their work at the national conference that best suits them.*
In addition to research, we help the students learn more about the many careers in and around atmospheric and geographic sciences to help them explore and find career options that might suit them well. We hold several workshops and have one-on-one mentoring to help students build skills needed to succeed. Our goal is to help participants decide whether a career in research is for them.
We provide:
- furnished housing in modern campus apartments,
- a travel allowance to get to and from Norman, Oklahoma,
- a travel allowance to attend a professional conference,
- and a fellowship stipend.
