The Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education

Headquarters: Honolulu, HI

Description: The Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) was established to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the diverse assemblages of microorganisms in the sea, ranging from the genetic basis of marine microbial biogeochemistry including the metabolic regulation and environmental controls of gene expression, to the processes that underpin the fluxes of carbon, related bioelements and energy in the marine environment. Undergraduates interns are sought from a variety of ocean and earth-science disciplines. Note: C-MORE internships are available during Fall and Spring semesters only -- not during the summer.
