Schaffner/02-44039This award provides renewed funding for an REU site at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), College of William and Mary. The award will support twelve undergraduate students each year during a 10-week summer research internship. The internship program focuses on interdisciplinary coastal marine science, particularly processes operating in the local Chesapeake Bay estuarine environment. VIMS is one of the largest institutions in the U.S. dedicated to the study of coastal and estuarine systems. Research areas available for students include marine ecology, biological and chemical oceanography, biogeochemistry, geological and physical oceanography, marine fisheries, and marine policy.

Schaffner/02- 44039该奖项为威廉和玛丽学院弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（VIMS）的REU站点提供了新的资金。该奖项将支持每年12名本科生在为期10周的夏季研究实习。实习计划的重点是跨学科的沿海海洋科学，特别是在当地切萨皮克湾河口环境中运行的过程。VIMS是美国最大的致力于研究沿海和河口系统的机构之一。可供学生研究的领域包括海洋生态学，生物和化学海洋学，地球化学，地质和物理海洋学，海洋渔业和海洋政策。
