Research & Internships
Every year, ecological and wildlife research is conducted to assist in understanding how the natural environment works. The information gained from these projects is used to make management decisions at the Laboratory. Many of these projects are conducted with the assistance of interns. Interns are high school or undergraduate students participating in the BNL's Office of Education summer programs. During 10 weeks, the students conduct experiments, population surveys, ecological monitoring, and other natural resource investigations. Students are required to complete a paper and/or poster as part of their internship. The links below are some of the research projects completed at BNL. Any students interested in interning should review the Office of Education website and contact the Natural Resource Manager, Dr. Timothy Green. Many of the interns listed here have gone on to complete their Masters, Phd's and even Doctorate degrees.
