项目摘要

This award will support an REU program focus on The Science of Global Change and Sustainability hosted by the Environmental Science Institute?s at the University of Texas - Austin. The goals of the program are to provide REU students with an engaging research experience, the excitement of scientific inquiry, professional development opportunities, and an expanded perspective regarding graduate school and a science career. Additionally, student researchers will be engaged in approaches to campus sustainability as a local way to address issues of global change. Real advancements in global change science require a non-traditional, interdisciplinary approach that integrate basic sciences such as geology, hydrology, and ecology, with applied and social sciences such as urban ecology, engineering, and policy. This REU program will provide both the specific disciplinary training and collaborative experiences necessary to develop and inspire future integrative scientists. REU students will follow a program that allows them to conduct field research, analyze samples on state-of-the-art instrumentation, interact with graduate students and faculty in multiple departments to interpret the results, present the results at a campus-wide poster session and then at a national professional meeting, and participate in seminars on research ethics, global change science topics, and the science-policy interface.

该奖项将支持REU计划，重点是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的环境科学研究所主持的全球变化和可持续性科学。该计划的目标是为REU学生提供引人入胜的研究经验，科学探究的兴奋，专业发展机会以及有关研究生院和科学职业的扩展观点。此外，学生研究人员将参与校园可持续性的方法，以此作为解决全球变化问题的当地方式。全球变化科学的真正进步需要一种非传统的跨学科方法，将基本科学（例如地质，水文学和生态学）与应用和社会科学（例如城市生态，工程，工程和政策）相结合。该REU计划将提供特定的学科培训和开发和启发未来综合科学家所必需的协作经验。 REU学生将遵循一项计划，使他们能够进行现场研究，分析有关最先进的仪器的样本，与多个部门的研究生和教职员工进行互动，以解释结果，在校园范围内的海报会议上，然后在全国性的专业会议上介绍结果，然后在全国性的专业会议上参与研究，并参加了有关研究Ethics的研讨会，全球变化科学主题和科学界面的互动。
