This two-year project is designed to develop an integrated undergraduate training program to enhance the participation of underrepresented African American students in marine sciences. Four students from two HBCU schools (Morgan State University and Delaware State University) will be recruited to participate in authentic research mentored by faculty in marine sciences. The research focus will be on hyperspectral remote sensing in coastal waters and the development of efficient means to analyze and ground-truth such data. The activities in this program involve research, student recruitment, as well as curriculum development. A marine science introductory course will first be developed to successfully prepare students for scientific research. Students then will come to Morgan State University's Estuarine Research Center for a 10-week research internship involving water quality monitoring, phytoplankton ecology, and hyperspectral imagery analysis. In the subsequent academic semester, students will further refine their research results and prepare manuscripts for potential publication and/or scientific presentations at professional meetings.

这个为期两年的项目旨在制定一个综合的本科培训计划，以提高代表性不足的非裔美国学生对海洋科学的参与。来自两所HBCU学校（摩根州立大学和特拉华州州立大学）的四名学生将被招募参加由海洋科学教师指导的真实研究。研究重点将放在沿海水域的高光谱遥感，以及开发有效的方法来分析和实地核实这些数据。这个项目的活动包括研究、招生和课程开发。首先将开设海洋科学入门课程，为学生的科学研究做好准备。然后，学生们将来到摩根州立大学的河口研究中心进行为期10周的研究实习，内容涉及水质监测、浮游植物生态学和高光谱图像分析。在接下来的学期中，学生将进一步完善他们的研究成果，并为潜在的出版物和/或专业会议上的科学报告准备手稿。
