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.

作为帕尔默站南极海洋LTER（长期生态研究）项目的一部分，加州大学圣巴巴拉分校提议建立一个REU站点（本科生研究教育）。REU网站的目的是让本科生参与南极野外季节和UCSB实验室的样本分析、数据分析和出版物准备工作。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跨学科项目的各个方面，这些项目需要强有力的假设检验，并且涉及当前和不断发展的技术。在这段经历中，我们期望学生将从一个广泛的概述和依赖状态转变为一个狭窄的焦点和独立的项目。
