REU Site for Studies of Marine Antarctic Research Topics (SMART)

作为帕尔默南极海洋长期生态研究(LTER)项目的一部分，加州大学圣巴巴拉分校提议建立一个本科生研究教育网站。REU网站的目的是让南极洲野外季节的本科生和UCSB实验室的本科生参与样本分析、数据分析和出版物准备。LTER和REU计划有几个共同的目标，这些目标是通过本科生参与研究活动来实现的。对海洋科学感兴趣的本科生将有机会体验一个跨学科项目的方方面面，该项目具有很强的假设检验能力，涉及当前和不断发展的技术。在此过程中，我们预计学生将从广泛的概述和依赖状态转移到更狭隘的关注和独立的项目。

The establishment of a REU Site (Research Education for Undergraduates) is proposed for the University of California at Santa Barbara as part of the Palmer Station Antarctic Marine LTER (Long-Term Ecological Research) project. The purpose of the REU Site is to involve undergraduates in both the field seasons in Antarctica, and in the laboratory at UCSB during sample analysis, data analysis and preparation of publications. The LTER and REU programs have several common objectives which are achieved by undergraduates participating in research activities. Undergraduates with an interest in marine sciences will have the opportunity to experience all aspects of an interdisciplinary project with strong hypothesis testing, and which involves current and evolving techniques. During this experience we expect that students will move from a broad overview and dependent status to a narrower focus and independent projects.
