Research Experiences for Undergraduates 2022

Funded by the National Science Foundation, the Resilience and Adaptation to Coastal Change Across Communities (C2C) REU program, is focused on increasing the resilience of coastal regions through applied research projects and experiences for undergraduate students. The program is unique in its coastal emphasis, interdisciplinary approach, and team focus. With faculty mentors coming from three different institutions, including East Carolina University, Clemson University, and the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo, students are paired with a mentor who shares their research interests and can guide them in their respective fields. Because the REU program takes place on the ECU Outer Banks Campus at the Coastal Studies Institute, students are not only situated in an ideal place to conduct research but also within a community that is being directly affected by changing coastlines.
