Are you an undergraduate student looking for a unique summer experience? Apply today to the CRESCENT Cores to Code program!
Cores to Code (C2C) is a 3-week summer research experience that will delve into the interdisciplinary study of the earthquake and tsunami history of the Cascadia subduction zone. The program will be based out of Cal Poly Humboldt, a minority-serving institution. Students will conduct geologic fieldwork in Humboldt Bay coastal marshes, collect marsh sediment cores, conduct laboratory analysis on the cores, and explore how these geologic data are integrated into the geophysical models that help characterize past earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone. At the end of the program, students will synthesize and present their findings to their peers, mentors, and local community.
C2C seeks a broad applicant pool with the goal of engaging a new, diverse generation of coastal geologists and modelers. Students from minority-serving institutions or who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color), Latinx, LGBTQ+, or first-generation college students will have priority during the selection process.
