Call for Proposals
As part of InterRidge’s mission to promote interdisciplinary, international, collaborative studies of oceanic spreading centers, we invite proposals for two 2008 InterRidge Student Fellowships of up to $3000 US each. These new fellowships are designed to encourage international collaboration on any aspect of ridge-crest science by students (undergraduate and graduate), fostering long-standing partnerships for their future careers. These fellowships can be used for any field of ridge-crest science. In particular these awards are encouraged to be used for international cruise participation, international laboratory use, and adding an international dimension to students thesis work.

From Local to Extreme Environments (FLEXE) is a project of the GLOBE earth science education program (http://www.globe.gov/fsl/html/templ.cgi?flexe&lang=en&nav=1). Through comparative protocols and online interactions with project scientists and partner schools, students will gain an understanding of local and the deep-sea environments, the interconnected Earth system, and the process of science. This project, led by Ridge 2000 and Pennsylvania State University in partnership with InterRidge, will be the focus of a talk at the AGU Fall Meeting.
