This awards supports summer research by undergraduates at the Sevilleta Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site of the University of New Mexico. Students will live at the Sevilleta LTER during the 12-week summer program while pursuing research problems related to ongoing research at the LTER. Sample areas of research include 1) investigation of the role of genetic and physiological variation in abundance and distribution of cottonwood trees along the Rio Grande, and 2) response of desert grassland ecological processes to rodent removal. Students will attend seminars and participation in other group activities that will include discussions of the research process, of scientific ethics, and of teaching. Communication of research results will also be emphasized.

该奖项支持本科生在新墨西哥州大学塞维利亚长期生态研究（LTER）网站的夏季研究。 学生将在为期12周的暑期课程期间住在塞维利亚LTER，同时追求与LTER正在进行的研究相关的研究问题。 研究的样本领域包括：1）调查遗传和生理变异在格兰德河沿着棉白杨树的丰度和分布中的作用; 2）荒漠草原生态过程对啮齿动物清除的反应。 学生将参加研讨会和其他小组活动的参与，将包括研究过程中的讨论，科学伦理，和教学。 还将强调研究成果的交流。
