Exciting News!

The Coastal Hazards and Resilience Training, Education, and Research (CHARTER) Fellow program is now open! We are recruiting undergraduates from any academic discipline to provide YOU with opportunities to engage with research, connect with people from different Universities, and gain experience in natural science fields. Anyone from OSU, UW, UO, or Cal Poly Humboldt can apply here. Applications due November 28th! 

What is the Cascadia CoPes Hub?

People living along the Pacific Northwest coastlines face multiple climate-driven threats. Through this project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the CoPes Hub will empower community members living in the coastal areas to be more prepared to deal with the impact of natural hazards through research and community engagement.

The CHARTER Fellows program aims to provide you with opportunities to engage in CoPes Hub research, act as role models for high school students, and engage with the public around the science of coastal hazards.

“This fellowship opened many doors for me I didn’t think were possible. I am a Public Relations and Political Science student, so I wasn’t sure about applying, but I’m glad I did. In the past two years with the Hub, I’ve learned so much about myself, my education, team collaboration, and research! In the process, I’ve created a research poster that was presented at the Pacific Sociological Conference in San Francisco earlier this year, and due to the support and guidance, I felt comfortable creating my own independent research poster to be presented at my University’s Undergraduate Research Symposium. If you are thinking about applying, do it! A world of opportunities awaits you on the other side.” – Catalina Kurihara (Cohort 3 Fellow)
