The Research Experience in ALpine Meteorology (REALM) utilizes the natural scientific laboratory of the nearby Wasatch Mountains and adjacent urban areas to study critical challenges such as water availability and air quality, requiring an understanding of alpine terrain influences on weather and climate processes.
The Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah is a leading program for weather and climate education and research in the Intermountain West. It is internationally recognized for its expertise in atmospheric studies related to mountain environments, including the measurement, analysis, and prediction of orographic precipitation, fire weather applications, and air quality.
The objectives for REALM are to:
-Engage students in full-time active research.
-Provide professional development opportunities for students.
-Motivate students toward STEM careers by creating an engaging cohort experience that includes site visits to employment opportunities in the weather, water, and climate enterprise.
-Improve students' science literacy and oral and written communication skills.
Applications from all institutions including 2-year colleges, are strongly encouraged.
