This project will be co-mentored by myself and a co-PI, Dr. Adrienne Cachelin (ESS). We will meet with the student at the onset of the summer to provide project context and determine student interests. We will co-develop a primary research question, as well as a outline the research approach. We will then meet on a weekly basis to address progress and challenges. We will familiarize the student with software required to conduct project work, and review output from data analyses or writing efforts. We will help guide the development of a research poster for project communication at the SPUR symposium. We will attend SPUR related events for faculty. Our research will be coordinated through the HAPPIEST project (Co-PIs: Drs. Sara Grineski - SOC, and Tim Collins - ESS). As such, graduate students associated with this project will also serve as mentors to students working on the climate anxiety project and the SPUR student will become acquainted with a smaller cohort of undergraduate students working on other HAPPIEST projects.
