The Accelerated Research Iinto the Science of the Environment (ARISE) Program; a Phase I project proposal

ARISE（环境科学加速研究）项目将把8-12名高年级本科生（三年级、四年级和刚毕业）从地球科学专业传统上代表性不足的学生中挑选出来，带到阿肯色州立大学校园，参加为期三周的密集暑期项目，该项目将在进行定向研究的同时，对地球科学主题进行总体回顾，包括水文学、土壤/水化学、生态学和生物地球化学循环。该项目是阿肯色州生物科学研究所与阿肯色州立大学环境科学、化学和物理专业合作开展的。社会，历史和科学问题之间的联系将通过实地考察和研讨会期间明确解决。来自地区学校的特定专业领域（如水文学、生物地球化学、农业经济学）的教师导师将通过前沿研究指导学生。

The ARISE (Accelerated Research into Science of the Environment) program will bring 8-12 upper-level undergraduate students (junior, senior and just graduated), selected from traditionally underrepresented students in the geosciences, to the Arkansas State University campus to attend an intensive three-week summer program that will provide a general review of Earth science topics, including hydrology, soil/water chemistry, ecology and biogeochemical cycles while performing directed research. This program is a collaboration between the Arkansas Biosciences Institute and Environmental Sciences and Chemistry and Physics programs at Arkansas State University. Links between social, historical and scientific issues will be explicitly addressed through field trips and seminars during the program. Faculty mentors from specific areas of expertise (e.g., hydrology, biogeochemistry, agricultural economics) gathered from regional schools will mentor students through cutting edge research.
