About

Retired ESE Professor Kamens "has implemented, under the sponsorship of the Institute of the Environment at UNC, a UNC undergraduate student exchange/research program in Thailand and currently serves as its field site director. The purpose of the program is to provide students with a global environmental perspective built upon learning and research experiences in overseas field site locations. Students are provided the opportunity to attend environmental classes along with students from the host country, and to participate in environmental research projects that address crucial problems of the host country and region."
