9351037 Rainwater This project provides equipment that is being used to support a new undergraduate course, Marine Biology, designed for biology majors. Specific equipment is used for field and laboratory exercises focusing on Texas coastal barrier island environments and the organisms that inhabit them. Field exercises include profiles of coastal waters and lagoons, analysis of bottom sediments and organisms, and studies of benthic communities. Laboratory studies also physiological adaptations and behavioral interactions of cold- water organisms, and marine plants and invertebrate animals collected in the field. It is expected that an increased appreciation of the marine environment will result from these studies. Moreover, the project will provide meaningful field and laboratory experiences in marine biology for undergraduate students. ***

小行星9351037 该项目提供的设备被用来支持一个新的本科课程，海洋生物学，专为生物专业。专门设备用于实地和实验室演习，重点是得克萨斯州沿海屏障岛屿环境和栖息在其中的生物。实地工作包括沿海沃茨和泻湖的剖面图、海底沉积物和生物的分析以及底栖生物群落的研究。实验室研究还包括冷水生物、海洋植物和野外采集的无脊椎动物的生理适应和行为相互作用。预计这些研究将使人们更加了解海洋环境。 此外，该项目将为本科生提供海洋生物学方面有意义的实地和实验室经验。 ***
