TREC is integrated into the undergraduate geology programs at the University of Akron. Examples of terrestrial environmental change are investigated in lecture, laboratory and field courses, where students gain skills needed to conduct research. Group research projects that focus on TREC are a component of a number of the advanced undergraduate geology courses. Students majoring in geology, geophysics and geological engineering are all encouraged to complete an individual research project and most chose to conduct research on a TREC related topic.

For additional information on the undergraduate geology programs or undergraduate research opportunities contact the undergraduate advisor, Dr. Annabelle Foos, at afoos@uakron.edu
