A Two-Week Immersive Marine Science Study on Long Island Sound
During the summer, SoundWaters Research Intensive (SRI) engages high school students in a two-week immersive experience focusing on high-level marine science. This intensive summer program is ideal for high school students who have a desire to pursue their passion for science, conduct field studies, and be part of longitudinal studies on Long Island Sound.
SRI takes place at the Cohen SoundWaters Harbor Center on Stamford Harbor, on board the SoundWaters Research Vessel, and aboard the 80′ Schooner SoundWaters. Students present their research projects to a live audience at the end of each session.
Students are selected based on their science ability, their interest in exploring a college major and/or professional career in science, and their commitment to the environment. A personal interview is part of the application process.
Summer SRI is designed for students entering 10th grade – 1st Year of College
