Still looking for something to do this summer? DOSECC (Drilling, Observation and Sampling of the Earth's Crust) is looking for paid (yes, paid!) summer interns to help drill into the crust for scientific research. The projects cover a wide range of geological settings both onshore and offshore. This map shows past and present DOSECC drilling projects going on around the world. Both college students and grade school teachers are invited to apply for the summer program. But hurry up! Applications are due March 1st. From the announcement:
