The Human-Environment Regional Observatory-Central Massachusetts (HERO-CM) research program provides opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to analyze the causes and consequences of global environmental changes at local scales in faculty-led research projects. This program permits students to conduct research in interdisciplinary and inter-institutional projects. Current HERO research is funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Thoreau Foundation, and the O’Connor ‘78 Fund.

Thoughts about HERO: HERO is a great opportunity for undergraduate
students to be part of large-scale, team-based research. The research program
presents unique opportunities not possible in a conventional classroom, such
as working one-on-one with faculty, and becoming an expert on a specific and
important human-environmental issue. As a Mosakowski-HERO Fellow, I look forward
to expanding my HERO research to include political implications and policy suggestions.
