Secondary School Field Research Program (SSFRP)
Check out the amazing topics covered by our field research interns, from noise and air pollution in NYC to microplastic degradation in Piermont Marsh to measuring carbon in soils and trees!
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory’s Secondary School Field Research Program (SSFRP) brings high school students, undergraduate students, and science teachers to the Lamont campus each summer for six weeks of field and laboratory research, with the Piermont Marsh serving as the main field site and outdoor classroom.
Students and teachers collaborate with Lamont researchers to conduct rigorous scientific research about ecological and physical processes in the wetland, and each team creates a research poster and presentation to share their work.
