Research Experience for Undergraduates in Estuarine Processes Influenced by Summertime Hypoxia

纽约州立大学石溪分校的海洋科学研究中心将为本科生提供暑期研究体验的场所，为8名化学、生物、地质、物理、大气科学或工程专业的高年级本科生提供机会。暑期研究员将在教师导师的指导下进行个人研究，并参与一个协调的小组项目，研究与长岛海湾水柱和海底缺氧相关的海洋/河口过程。我们的计划将提供相当多的现场实践经验，包括使用小船和采样设备，以及使用基本分析仪器的实验室。它将展示团队合作在收集和共享数据方面的重要性，并将说明科学研究对于理解现实世界问题的有用性。每周的非正式会议将以嘉宾演讲和讨论与成为研究科学家、环保主义者、资源经理或政府官员相关的伦理和社会问题为特色。此外，许多社交活动，包括实地考察和体育活动，将在整个夏天在MSRC和校园内与其他参与研究项目的本科生一起进行。

The Marine Sciences Research Center, SUNY Stony Brook will serve as a site for summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates providing opportunities for 8 upper division undergraduate students majoring in chemistry, biology, geology, physics, atmospheric science, or engineering. Summer fellows will conduct individual research under the guidance of a faculty mentor and participate in a coordinated group project to study marine/estuarine processes associated with the development of water column and seabed hypoxia in Long Island Sound. Our program will provide considerable 'hands-on' experience in the field with small boats and sampling gear, and in the laboratory with basic analytical instruments. It will demonstrate the importance of teamwork in gathering and sharing data, and will illustrate the usefulness of scientific research for understanding real-world problems. Informal weekly sessions will feature guest speakers and discussions of ethical and social issues associated with being a research scientist, an environmentalist, resource manager, or government official. Additionally, many social activities including field trips and sports events will take place throughout the summer at MSRC and on campus with other undergraduates engaged in research programs.
