The River Basins Research Initiative (RBRI) NSF-REU Site, will incorporate 15 undergraduate science majors at the sophomore or junior level into an extensive 10-week interdisciplinary research program that is focused on the biogeochemistry of river systems in the upstate of South Carolina. Nine of the students will be funded by NSF-REU and six will be funded jointly by NSF-REU and the Universidad metropolitana, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The faculty involved in this program are from the departments of earth and environmental sciences, biology, and chemistry and have developed a moded system for interdisciplinary integration. Students involved in the research will be introduced to a variety of analytical systems, work on interdisciplinary teams and participate in all phases of the research from planning, to sample collection, sample analysis, and data analysis. The long-term goals of this research program are to quantify the extent of human impact on aquatic biota in the Lower Broad River Basin in the upstate region of South Carolina and to characterize biogeochemical cycles in a subtropical weathering regime.

流域研究计划（RBRI）NSF-REU网站，将纳入15个本科科学专业在大二或大三的水平到一个广泛的10周的跨学科研究计划，重点是在南卡罗来纳州北部的河流系统的地球化学。 其中9名学生将由NSF-REU资助，6名学生将由NSF-REU和波多黎各圣胡安大都会大学联合资助。 参与该计划的教师来自地球与环境科学，生物学和化学部门，并开发了跨学科整合的模块化系统。 参与研究的学生将被介绍给各种分析系统，跨学科团队的工作，并参与从规划到样本收集，样本分析和数据分析的所有研究阶段。 这项研究计划的长期目标是量化人类对南卡罗来纳州北部地区下布罗德河流域水生生物群的影响程度，并描述亚热带风化制度中的地球化学循环。
