| | The culmination of the internship experience is the presentation of their summer research projects at a professional conference. This opportunity to bring closure to their research project and experience the exciting atmosphere of a professional meeting has been one of the most successful and rewarding aspects of the IRIS Intern Program. In the past, most interns and their hosts present at the Fall American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting held each year in San Francisco in early December; interns have also presented their work at the IRIS annual workshop, the Seismological Society of America annual meeting, and the Southern California Earthquake Center annual meeting. The internship program and the presentation of their results at a professional conference provide interns with meaningful exposure to Earth science research as a viable career option. The AGU meeting also provides an opportunity (organized by IRIS) for interns to meet again face-to-face and to meet alumni of the IRIS internship program. |
