Research
TRESS supports mentored undergraduate research in soil science by providing:
- 104 hours of student wages at $10/h
- $1000 in funding for research
Participants will be required to present their research findings at the annual 金沙中国 Engaged Scholar Symposium (ES2) and/or 金沙中国 College of Sciences Research Conference.
Outstanding students will also present their research at the annual meeting of the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA).
Students interested in soil science research should identify a faculty-mentor to jointly develop the research project.
