Abstract: This award provides renewed funding for an REU Site at the Marine Environmental Science Consortium, which is located on Dauphin Island, AL. The site will support seven students during a twelve-week summer program each year. Research themes will focus on marine biology, biogeochemistry of coastal and nearshore systems of the Gulf of Mexico. The program includes a multi-day orientation session, field trips, scientific seminars, mini-workshops and panels on subjects such as ethics in science, scientific writing, careers, graduate school options, and presentation of scientific results. Students are also encouraged to participate in field-work with their faculty mentor and in extended research cruises when the option is available. They are required to present results of their research at a mini-conference at the end of the summer and are encouraged to attend scientific conferences and submit a paper for publication following the REU experience.

摘要：该奖项为位于阿拉巴马州多芬岛的海洋环境科学联盟的REU网站提供了新的资金，该网站将在每年为期12周的暑期课程中支持7名学生。研究主题将侧重于海洋生物学、墨西哥湾沿海和近岸系统的海洋地球化学。该计划包括一个为期多天的方向会议，实地考察，科学研讨会，小型研讨会和小组的主题，如科学伦理，科学写作，职业生涯，研究生院的选择，并介绍科学成果。还鼓励学生与他们的教师导师一起参加实地考察，并在有选择的情况下参加延长的研究巡航。他们被要求在夏季结束时的一个小型会议上介绍他们的研究成果，并鼓励他们参加科学会议，并在REU的经验之后提交一篇论文供出版。
