Honors ProgramAtmospheric Sciences,
Environmental Studies, Marine Sciences and MVB

• have a 3.50 GPA in all courses for the major by
  the end of the junior year.
• Students should apply to the SoMAS undergraduate
  director for permission to participate
• Submit an outline of the proposed thesis research
  project to the SoMAS undergraduate director
• but no later than the second week of classes in
  the last semester.
• Prepare an honors thesis based on a research
  project
• The written thesis must be submitted before the
  end of the semester in which the student is
  graduating.
• The student will be given an oral examination in
  May on his or her research.
• The awarding of honors requires the
  recommendation of this committee and recognizes
  superior performance in research and scholarly
  endeavors.

Internships During the Year

• Undergraduates interested in research and
  monitoring programs at Gateway National
  Recreation Area and Fire Island National Seashore
  should contact
• Patti Rafferty patricia_rafferty_at_nps.gov
  631-687-4767
• monitor vegetation, nekton and benthos in
  conjunction with salt marsh restoration
• to evaluate the effect of nitrogen loading on
  salt marsh function
• interested student to assist with preparation
  and/or analysis of sediment and vegetation
  samples.

Aquatic Toxicology

• Anne McElory
• Internship available to help with routine lab
  maintenance (glassware cleaning, cataloging and
  clean-up) and fish culture (rearing, feeding,
  cleaning, water quality testing).
• Depending on availability, student would also
  have the opportunity to occasionally help with
  experimental manipulations of fish embryos in the
  laboratory.
• Help is generally needed during the morning
  830-930 and afternoon 400-500 time windows.
• This is not a paid position.

9
Environmental Chemistry

• Robert Aller Lab (Environmental Chemistry)
• explore greening our nitrate analysis - and
  using less porewater - by using nitrate reductase
  enzyme and the microplate reader instead of using
  the heavy metal Cadmium as the reductant for the
  analysis
• This is obviously a project for a student with a
  strong interest in environmental chemistry, but
  the techniques exist (the methods have been
  developed elsewhere) so it shouldn't be a
  difficult project.

10
Internships

• These are the Internships that are on Blackboard
• Look around the buildings at SoMAS
• If you find a Professor who is doing work Similar
