What is Research?

Research is an independent study in a field of interest. STEM research is usually conducted in a laboratory led by a Principal Investigator (PI). This is the faculty or staff member that leads a research project. STEM research often addresses a hypothesis or scientific question, and entry-level undergraduate STEM research is done as a smaller part of a larger, ongoing project in the lab. Undergraduates new to STEM research are trained and supervised by postdoctoral scholars (postdocs), technicians, graduate students, and other senior undergraduate researchers. Students can conduct research outside of their major and can work on multiple projects at a time.

Undergraduate Research Portal

Through the Undergraduate Research Portal, you will find opportunities to do research in all disciplines. Search for research opportunities both on and off-campus and create a profile that faculty can find when looking for student researchers.

Finding a Project and a Mentor

Getting involved in a research project is more like finding a job than signing up for a class. All undergraduates find their own faculty mentor and research project. The Undergraduate Research Center provides resources to help students get research positions. A helpful resource are the “Entering STEM Research & SRP-99” workshops.

Finding a Project and Mentor

Secured a Research Position? Now What?

Many on-campus scholarships and funding opportunities require you to document your research through an independent research course (99, 196, 198, 199). Already having a few quarters of SRP-99 credit will make you a competitive applicant when applying for these scholarships.http://sciences.ugresearch.ucla.edu/after-securing-a-research-position/

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
