Past Expeditions

History

Arctic REU Greenland began as a series of undergraduate research trips at Concord University during alternate years from 2013-2019. These earlier expeditions were funded by an undergraduate research grant from the American Chemical Society, with a goal towards developing a larger-scale undergraduate research program. The 2021 and 2022 cohorts were funded by the National Science Foundation and marked the first of these larger-scale expeditions with eight students each year from institutions across the USA. In 2021, Greenland was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The cohort pivoted to a domestic REU with field work in Colorado and lab work at Montana State University. In 2022 students were able to travel to Greenland.
