Undergraduate Research Opportunities at the TO
Caltech's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF) program introduces students to research under the guidance of research mentors.
Caltech's TO offers a broad range of interdisciplinary research topics spanning the fields of geology, geophysics, and geochemistry. Projects range from field geology to remote sensing to numerical modeling.
