项目摘要

The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of North Carolina's Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS), located in Morehead City, NC will support a total of 8 students each year during a 10 week summer research program. Students will design, conduct, and interpret individual research projects that articulate with research focusing on environmental studies in coastal North Carolina. Sustaining ecosystem services of coastal habitats, while maintaining social and economic uses of these areas, requires a thorough understanding of the relevant natural processes as well as the consequences of specific anthropogenic activities. Extensive human habitation and visitation to coastal barriers and nearby estuaries has illustrated the problems associated with uses of these habitats without providing insight in choosing among alternative management strategies. IMS has a decades-long history of conducting research in coastal regions that has proved useful to policy makers. Students will continue that effort at several locations in coastal North Carolina including the U.S. Marine Corps base at Camp Lejeune where environmental management of the base faces all the problems seen in other coastal regions, with the added challenge of maintaining military training activities without degrading the integrity of the base's natural resources. At the end of the summer, REU students present their results during a student research symposium and write a research paper. Support provided by NSF includes funding for student stipends, student travel to and from the site, student housing and meals and some administrative costs.

本科生研究经验（REU）计划在北卡罗来纳州的海洋科学研究所（IMS），位于莫尔黑德市，NC的大学将支持在为期10周的夏季研究计划，每年共8名学生。学生将设计，进行和解释个人研究项目，与研究重点放在沿海北卡罗来纳州的环境研究。维持沿海生境的生态系统服务，同时保持这些地区的社会和经济用途，需要彻底了解相关的自然过程以及特定人类活动的后果。广泛的人类居住和访问沿海屏障和附近的河口说明了与使用这些栖息地，而不是提供洞察力，在选择替代管理策略之间的问题。IMS在沿海地区开展研究已有数十年的历史，事实证明这对决策者很有用。学生们将在北卡罗来纳州沿海的几个地点继续努力，包括美国海军陆战队在勒琼营的基地，该基地的环境管理面临着在其他沿海地区看到的所有问题，在不降低基地自然资源完整性的情况下维持军事训练活动的额外挑战。在夏季结束时，REU学生在学生研究研讨会上展示他们的成果，并撰写研究论文。NSF提供的支持包括学生津贴，学生往返网站的交通，学生住宿和膳食以及一些行政费用。
