Overview
The Harvard Forest Summer Research Program in Ecology is an opportunity for students to participate in on-going research at the Harvard Forest. Harvard Forest research focuses on the effects of natural and human disturbances on forest ecosystems, including global warming, hurricanes, forest harvesting, and invasive organisms. Researchers come from many disciplines, and specific projects center on population and community ecology, paleoecology, land-use history, aquatic ecology, biochemistry, soil science, ecophysiology, and atmosphere-biosphere exchanges.
Students participate in ongoing research projects with researchers from Harvard University, University of New Hampshire, Marine Biological Laboratory, Ecosystem Center and other collaborators. Responsibilities may include field sampling, laboratory studies, data analysis and scientific writing. In addition, students attend weekly seminars given by nationally known scientists and workshops on career and graduate school preparation.
At the end of the summer, students develop their research results, prepare an abstract, and present their findings at a student research symposium.
The Forest has one comprehensive summer program for students from institutions across the country. Due to differences in funding sources, we provide separate application pages for students from Harvard University and for students from all other institutions.
