REU Site: SURFO - Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Oceanography

这项本科生研究经验（REU）计划位于罗德岛州纳拉甘西特的罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院（GSO）。REU网站被命名为“海洋学夏季本科生研究奖学金”（SURFO）计划，是一个为期10周的研究/教育计划，旨在每年让12名本科生接触最前沿的、真实的海洋学研究。每个学生将与一名研究顾问和研究生合作，根据每个学生的背景和兴趣开发/开展海洋学领域的研究项目。SURFO项目填补的研究或教育空缺涉及海洋学的更多定量方面，这与GSO的优势密切相关。参与者承担的研究项目通常是单独资助的研究项目的一部分，但学生项目侧重于研究中意想不到的有趣方面。许多学生的项目为随后的研究提案或出版物带来了重要的初步发现。许多研究研讨会和专业发展讲习班是专门为surfo举办的。在夏季结束时，学生们在学生研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果，并撰写一篇研究论文。我们强烈鼓励学生和导师继续进行项目，以便在国家/地区会议上展示或提交给评审期刊。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作支持。

This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program is located at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) in Narragansett, RI. Named the "Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Oceanography" (SURFO) program, the REU Site is a 10-week research/educational program designed to expose 12 undergraduates per year to cutting-edge, authentic, oceanographic research. Each student will work with a research advisor and graduate student to develop/conduct a research project in an area of oceanography appropriate to each student's background and interests. The research or educational niche filled by the SURFO program deals with the more quantitative aspects of oceanography, which closely parallels the strengths of GSO. The research projects undertaken by participants are typically part of a separately funded research program, but the student project focuses on an interesting aspect of the research that was not anticipated. Many of the student projects result in important initial findings for subsequent research proposals or publications. Numerous research seminars and professional development workshops are conducted specifically for the SURFOs. At the end of the summer, students present their results during a student research symposium and they write a research paper. Students and advisors are strongly encouraged to continue the projects for presentation at national/regional meetings or submission to refereed journals.The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
