Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates in Geographic Information Systems  (GIS)

Croft professor Dr. Ana Velitchkova passed along this invitation for students to apply for a funded research experience in Belize using Global Information Systems (GIS) with the University of Central Florida.  Supported by the National Science Foundation, the program offers fully funded summer research experiences for at least 8 undergraduate students in Belize for 5 weeks and Orlando for two weeks.  The program is open to all U.S. students and runs June 25 - August 10, 2018.  It is interdisciplinary in nature and emphasizes community GIS and citizen science through mixed methods, including sketch mapping, mobile mapping applications, in-depth interviews, GIS, and spatial analysis.  Students will receive a stipend, meal allowance, and travel support.  For more information, visit http://www.citizensciencegis.org/ucf-reu-site/.
