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

The ARISE（加速研究到环境科学）计划将带来8-12高层次的本科生（大三，大四和刚刚毕业），从传统上代表性不足的学生在地球科学，选择到阿肯色州州立大学校园参加密集的为期三周的暑期课程，将提供地球科学主题的一般审查，包括水文学，土壤/水化学，生态学和地球化学循环，同时进行定向研究。 该项目是阿肯色州生物科学研究所与阿肯色州州立大学的环境科学、化学和物理项目之间的合作。 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方案。 来自特定专业领域的教师导师（例如，水文学、地球化学、农业经济学）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.
