The EARS IGERT program provides students with a variety of opportunities including:

• Research collaborations
• Internships
• Workshops
• Travel
• Access to resources

“The program provides unique opportunities to develop and use advanced sensors; this in turn provides the ability to ask new questions, make new insights, and generate a more complete understanding of our water resources. This is a tremendous opportunity to learn at the cutting edge of ecology.”

– Kevin Rose, IGERT Trainee, Zoology Department

 “EARS IGERT is a multidisciplinary approach to sensor-based science. From novel sensors to unique applications of existing sensors, our goal is to utilize advancing technology to address current issues in aquatic environments.”

– Jeremy Mack, IGERT Trainee, Zoology Department

 “EARS IGERT is a program that focuses on cultivating a dialog between scientific disciplines in order to reach a common goal…  This sets the program apart from the normal graduate curriculum, and prepares the trainees for the ever-converging world of the sciences.”
