Summer Internship Program
The Nevada Division of Minerals
has been conducting a summer intern program since 2000 in order to assist with
the Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) Program. The internship began with two students
and has grown to eight in recent years. The interns are undergraduate Nevada
college students majoring in geology, geological or mining engineering, and
other earth science related fields. The summer internship is a 12 to 14 week
program with the vast majority spent performing field work in rural Nevada. The
program helps to advance the AML program while providing the students with
valuable field experience in map reading, data collection, and working in group
environments. Throughout the summer the interns will work in nearly all of
Nevada's 17 counties and visit as many as 2,500 abandoned mine features.
