Research Projects

Undergraduate Research – An inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student under the mentorship of a faculty member that makes an original intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline.  —  Council on Undergraduate Research

EMS/ENVI students at Penn State Brandywine have the opportunity to participate in undergraduate research projects in their first two years.  Some students even continue working with Dr. Guertin once they transfer to University Park!  You are encouraged to review this section of the website to learn about some of the ongoing projects and to see where students have shared their research results – from Philadelphia to San Francisco and even in Puerto Rico!

We have additional websites showcasing student work for the Global Tree Banding Project, Picture Post Project, and the student podcasting series WaterBytes.  We look forward to starting a scaled-up version of monitoring our stream on campus and contributing data to the World Water Monitoring Challenge.
