Presenting research at a professional conference is a critical component of the IRIS Undergraduate Internship Program. Such presentations provide interns with the opportunity to share the expertise and knowledge they have developed through the research process and places their work within the broader context of other ongoing research. While at the conference interns have a tremendous opportunity to interact with other students and researchers about their work, while gaining exposure to the fullness of Earth science research as a viable career option. Of course, numerous networking opportunities with internship alumni and potential graduate advisors abound are facilitated by the IRIS Internship program.
This year, all 15 IRIS Undergraduate Interns will be presenting their work at the 2019 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
