This award provides support for an REU-Site in geography at Oklahoma State University. The project deals with applicdations of the geographic information system (GIS) to soil and water research problems. With the assistance of their mentors, student researchers will be responsible for: (1) conceptualizing a research question; (2) data collection, (3) GIS and statistical analysis; and (4) interpretation and presentation of project results. Examples of the topic areas for projects include GIS-based investigations of phosphorus and sediment transport, evaluating soil and water constraints on urban development, and studies of regional evapotranspiration. Students will have opportunities to take advantage of research support resources including ArcView Certification, GPS training, and mentor/peer seminars.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为俄克拉荷马州立大学地理专业的REU网站提供支持。该项目涉及地理信息系统(GIS)在水土研究问题上的应用。在导师的帮助下，学生研究人员将负责：(1)将研究问题概念化；(2)数据收集；(3)地理信息系统和统计分析；以及(4)项目结果的解释和展示。项目主题领域的例子包括基于地理信息系统的磷和泥沙迁移调查、评估城市发展的土壤和水约束以及区域蒸散研究。学生将有机会利用研究支持资源，包括ArcView认证、GPS培训和导师/同行研讨会。该奖项有助于基金会通过活跃的本科生研究经验，继续努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业生涯。
