Undergraduate Research Experiences in Marine Biology in Alaska

The University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) offers research experiences to
undergraduate students interested in the physiology, ecology, and
behavior of marine organisms. In addition to the Juneau area, field
research projects take place in Glacier Bay National Park, the Gulf of
Alaska, and the Arctic Ocean.

Students will conduct research under the guidance of UAS Biology faculty
and/or collaborating research scientists. The program is supported with
funds from the National Science Foundation and UAS. Participants will
receive a stipend of $325 per week and campus housing while in Juneau.
Travel and subsistence costs within Alaska will also be provided.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and enrolled as
undergraduate students at accredited institutions. The program seeks
academically strong students interested in marine biological research.
Minority applicants are especially encouraged.

Field research projects include:

  * Behavioral Ecology Of Ringed Seals
  * Demography Of Pacific Walruses
  * Foraging Ecology Of Sea Otters
  * Behavior Of Harbor Porpoises
  * Population Biology Of Harbor Seals In Glacier Bay
  * Effects Of Vessel Traffic On Harbor Seals
  * Behavior And Demography Of Steller Sea Lions
  * Effects Of Total Dissolved Solids (Tds) On Salmonids
  * Regulation Of Growth And Reproduction In Decapod Crustacea
  * Larval Development Of Dungeness Crabs
  * Interactions Of Parasites With Dungeness And King Crab
  * Biochemistry Of Crustacean Hormones
  * Nursery Areas For Dungeness Crabs
  * Biogeography Of Intertidal Marine Organisms
