Many of our research programs at SERC depend upon volunteers to assist with a variety of tasks from helping in the laboratories to active participation in field work. SERC research is focused on understanding the causes and consequences of environmental change in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems. Our 2,650 acre research setting on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay provides novel insights into some of the most profound issues challenging our world today; including habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species. Our research labs are interested in high school students and adults becoming involved with the various aspects involved in laboratory and field opportunities. ​
