The University of Northern Iowa has been granted an NSF award to establish a Research Experience for Undergraduates Site (REU): The Interdisciplinary Research Experience in Hyperspectral Imaging (IDREHSI). The goal of this project is to introduce young scientists to a highly interdisciplinary research environment with a unifying theme of fundamental and applied research in hyperspectral imaging (HI) in eight different STEM disciplines. Recent technological developments and the increased availability of laboratory, satellite, and airborne-based HI imagery has led to a growing demand for HI-related jobs which calls for greater learning, understanding and use of hyperspectral imaging for various applications. Given the advantages of HI, REU students will have opportunities to engage in HI-based research in geographic information science, earth science, environmental science, physics, biology, computer science, and atmospheric science for different applications such as mapping and modeling of land use/land cover, minerals, soils and geologic features, water resources, wetland, forestry, and precision agriculture. The participants will: (1) be exposed to existing scientific approaches and experimental methods in HI, (2) develop skills that make students competitive in academic and professional environments, (3) be involved in faculty-mentored scientific investigations that prepares them for graduate studies and/or professional careers, (4) operate in highly interdisciplinary research settings and work across disciplinary boundaries in problem-based research, (5) improve their capability for learning independently, and (6) provide opportunities to discuss ethical issues related to collection and use of data, experimental design, and professional standards.The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

北爱荷华大学获得美国国家科学基金会奖，建立本科生研究经验网站（REU）：高光谱成像跨学科研究经验（IDREHSI）。该项目的目标是向年轻科学家介绍一个高度跨学科的研究环境，该环境具有统一的主题，即在八个不同的STEM学科中进行高光谱成像（HI）的基础和应用研究。最近的技术发展以及实验室、卫星和机载高光谱成像的可用性增加，导致对高光谱相关工作的需求不断增长，这需要更多地学习、理解和使用各种应用的高光谱成像。考虑到HI的优势，REU的学生将有机会从事基于HI的研究，包括地理信息科学、地球科学、环境科学、物理学、生物学、计算机科学和大气科学，用于不同的应用，如土地利用/土地覆盖、矿物、土壤和地质特征、水资源、湿地、林业和精准农业的制图和建模。与会者将：(1)接触到HI现有的科学方法和实验方法，(2)培养技能，使学生在学术和专业环境中具有竞争力，(3)参与教师指导的科学调查，为研究生学习和/或职业生涯做准备，(4)在高度跨学科的研究环境中工作，并在基于问题的研究中跨越学科界限，(5)提高他们独立学习的能力。(6)提供讨论与数据收集和使用、实验设计和专业标准相关的伦理问题的机会。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作资助。
