Institute for the Environment Student Research Papers

Each fall, students enrolled in UNC-Chapel Hill’s Institute for the Environment (IE) program at Highlands Biological Station undertake both an individual research project and a collaborative capstone project. These efforts culminate in final research papers, which are compiled annually into IE research reports available at the links below. Please note that before 2007, the IE program was known as the Carolina Environmental Program. The program did not take place in 2005, 2019, or 2020.
