The Keck Geology Consortium has undergraduate research opportunities for approximately 45 geoscience students in a wide variety of geological sub-disciplines and locations.
Funding for this program comes from the NSF-REU program and the 18 member institutions. The Consortium is committed to accepting up to 30% non-Keck Member school students. The students should be juniors (seniors in 2008-2009) and US citizens or permanent residents.
The program includes 4 weeks of summer research (field and/or lab work depending on the project), continuing research during the academic year (jointly advised by a project faculty member and a sponsor at the students home institution), attendance at the annual Keck Geology Consortium Symposium, and a publication in the annual Keck Geology Consortium Abstract volume.
This year we have an exciting range of projects in many different sub-disciplines (climate, geophysics, petrology, geomorphology, paleontology, geochemistry and more), and in a wide range of locations (Italy, Mongolia, Alaska, Rhode Island, Canada, Adirondacks, and Colorado).
I have attached the flier for the 2008-2009 projects (pdf format). Please distribute this information to any students who are eligible and might be interested.

The application deadline is February 1st, 2008. The application process is online.
