Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Marine Biology at the Shoals Marine Laboratory

莫林/99- 12315这笔赠款提供资金，在浅滩海洋实验室（SML），一个季节性经营的外地站位于缅因州海湾的阿普尔多尔岛启动为期8周的夏季实习计划。该野外台站由康奈尔大学和新罕布什尔州大学联合运营。REU研究中心将为学生提供海洋生物学和生态学领域现场和实验室研究的培训，包括海洋无脊椎动物、鸟类和植物的研究。学生的教师导师将从康奈尔大学、新罕布什尔大学、布朗大学、华盛顿大学和梅里马克学院的科学家中选出，他们正在肖尔斯海洋实验室进行研究项目。 REU学生将在他/她的教师导师的指导下，花8周时间沉浸在海洋生物学研究项目中。学生们还将参加每周的讨论小组，实地考察和期刊俱乐部会议。该赠款还将为三名本科生和一名教师提供资金，以参加墨西哥Akumal的国际研究/教育项目。学生们将花8周的时间参与珊瑚礁监测项目。该项目由美国和墨西哥共同资助。

Morin/99-12315This grant provides funding to initiate an 8-week summer internship program at the Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML), a seasonally operated field station located on Appledore Island in the Gulf of Maine. The field station is jointly operated by Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire (UNH). The REU Site will provide students with training in field and laboratory research in marine biology and ecology, including research in marine invertebrates, birds, and plants. Faculty mentors for the students will be selected from scientists at Cornell University, University of New Hamphsire, Brown University, University of Washington, and Merrimack College who have on-going research projects at the Shoals Marine Laboratory. The REU students will spend 8 weeks immersed in marine biology research projects under the guidance of his/her faculty mentor. The students will also participate in weekly discussion groups, field trips, and journal club meetings. The grant will also provide funding for three undergraduate students and a faculty instructor to participate in an international research/education project in Akumal, Mexico. The students will spend 8 weeks involved in a coral reef monitoring project. This project is jointly funded by the U.S. and Mexico.
