Deadline Extended for the
2024 NHERI REU Program

Dear Undergrads, 

The extended deadline for applications is Sunday, February 25 

REU program overview. Each year, NHERI facilities host a total of 33 undergraduates to participate in natural hazards research, studying ways to mitigate damage from earthquakes, tsunamis, windstorms and hurricanes — in fields that include coastal engineering, data management, cyberinfrastructure, post-event reconnaissance, simulation and modeling, and social science research. Typical student majors include engineering, computer science, architecture, public policy, and social science.  

During this NSF-funded summer experience, NHERI REU students work with faculty and graduate students to conduct research at one of NHERI’s 11 sites:  

·         The Wall of Wind at Florida International University

·         Real-Time Multi-Directional Natural Hazards Simulation Facility (RTMD) at Lehigh University

·         The O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University

·         The NHERI SimCenter at University of California, Berkeley

·         The Center for Geotechnical Modeling (CGM) at University of California, Davis

·         The Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table (LHPOST) at University of California, San Diego

·         The CONVERGE Facility at University of Colorado Boulder

·         The Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Experimental Facility at the University of Florida

·         The Large-Scale Mobile Shakers at University of Texas at Austin

·         The NHERI Cyberinfrastructure and Data Management team at University of Texas at Austin in collaboration with TACC

·         The Rapid Response Research Facility (RAPID) at University of Washington
