Abstract 0755094: This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Rutger's University. The program will support ten students during a ten week summer research program. The intellectual focus of the program is provided by access to the LEO-15 ocean observing platform and related technologies. Advances in remote sensing, ocean observatories, autonomous vehicles, numerical modeling, and molecular biology are changing oceanography. The faculty and research facilities at IMCS allow undergraduates to explore these technologies to understand estuarine and costal ecosystems. An initial five-day orientation introduces students to ongoing research, focusing on the continental shelf off New Jersey, the Hudson River/New York Harbor, and the Mullica River/Great Bay systems. The two estuaries provide a sharp contrast in their human impacts on coastal ecosystems. The orientation includes two days at the Rutgers University Marine Field Station in Tuckerton, with hands-on experience in the coastal LEO-15 research area, and on the Mullica River. The program will include independent research projects by the students, participation in a bi-weekly summer lecture series on topics such as scientific writing, science careers, ethics and data presentation. It will conclude with a written report and student poster presentations. Students will be encouraged to publish in peer-reviewed journals and participate in national conferences following the summer research program.The site will be supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU Program.

摘要 0755094：该奖项为罗格斯大学本科生研究体验 (REU) 项目提供了新的资金。该计划将在为期十周的夏季研究计划中为十名学生提供支持。该计划的智力重点是通过使用 LEO-15 海洋观测平台和相关技术来提供。遥感、海洋观测站、自动驾驶车辆、数值建模和分子生物学的进步正在改变海洋学。 IMCS 的教师和研究设施允许本科生探索这些技术以了解河口和沿海生态系统。 最初为期五天的培训向学生介绍正在进行的研究，重点是新泽西州附近的大陆架、哈德逊河/纽约港和穆利卡河/大湾系统。 这两个河口的人类对沿海生态系统的影响形成鲜明对比。 该培训包括在塔克顿的罗格斯大学海洋现场站进行为期两天的培训，并在沿海 LEO-15 研究区和穆利卡河获得实践经验。该项目将包括学生的独立研究项目，参加每两周一次的夏季系列讲座，主题包括科学写作、科学职业、伦理和数据演示等。它将以书面报告和学生海报展示结束。夏季研究计划结束后，我们将鼓励学生在同行评审期刊上发表文章并参加全国会议。该网站将得到国防部与 NSF REU 计划的合作支持。
