2013 SESYNC Interns

The 2013 cohort of SESYNC interns included 14 students who worked with professors at the University of Maryland and Coppin State University, and with professionals at the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and at SESYNC. Interns worked on a wide range of tasks and projects related to socio-environmental issues. Some examples of the work done by the 2013 interns include: studying how scientists communicate about climate change, collecting data about mosquito populations in urban areas, examining the environmental impacts and ecological footprints of cities, and studying the role of non-governmental organizations in international climate negotiations. Additionally, interns engaged in weekly meetings with SESYNC staff and postdocs to learn about socio-environmental synthesis.
