Geology Internship
This internship involves 6 weeks of summer field work with geologists Jon Kim, Margie Gale, and Lawrence Becker from the Vermont Geological Survey in Waterbury. The internship comes with a generous stipend of up to $2400. In addition, interns earn research credit (GEOL 197, 198), fulfill the advanced field requirement (GEOL 201), and have an opportunity to present their results at a professional meeting and participate in publications. Projects typically combine field mapping with other analyses, including structural geology, petrography, geochemistry,analysis of topographic data, GIS analysis, well logging, environmental hazard assessment. http://www.anr.state.vt.us/DEC/GEO/vgs.htmshapeimage_7_link_0
