REU Site: Aquatic Sciences Research at the School of Freshwater Sciences

该奖项为威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校淡水科学学院（SFS）的本科生研究经验（REU）项目提供了新的资助。该计划将在两年的时间里，每年夏天为10名学生提供为期10周的主动学习体验。该基地为全国招收的学生提供环境水产科学研究培训，提供一个有凝聚力、多学科、跨学科的环境。对湖泊和海洋环境的物理、化学、地质学和生物学感兴趣的学生与导师配对，导师经常负责活跃的跨学科研究实验室。他们一起开发了一个与导师的兴趣和能力相匹配的经验研究项目，这是一个充满活力的跨学科研究项目。在介绍了SFS之后，学生们花了一天的时间在密歇根湖近海取样体验，一天的分析和概念互动，第二天在研究船R/V Neeskay上对附近的珊瑚礁进行ROV探索。然后他们写一份简短的研究计划，并开始实地、实验室和图书馆的联合调查。在某些情况下，学生的小团队（每个2-3人）在一个伞形项目中工作。科学研讨会和研讨会，研究生院，职业选择和机会，写作和公开展示的结果和相关的主题都包括在该计划。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's School of Freshwater Sciences (SFS). The proposed program would provide 10 students with a 10-week active learning experience each summer for two years. The Site provides environmental aquatic science research training for nationally-recruited students in a cohesive, multi- and interdisciplinary environment. Students interested in physics, chemistry, geology, and biology of lake and ocean settings are paired with mentors supervising active, often interdisciplinary research laboratories. Together they develop a program of empirical study compatible with the advisor's interests and capabilities within one of the dynamic interdisciplinary research programs. After an introduction to SFS, students spend a day of offshore Lake Michigan sampling experience, a day of analytical and conceptual interaction, and a second day of ROV exploration on a nearby reef aboard the research vessel R/V Neeskay. They then write a short research proposal and begin a combined field, laboratory, and library investigation. In some cases, small teams of students (2-3 each) work within an umbrella project. Scientific seminars and workshops on graduate school, career options and opportunities, writing and public presentation of results and related topics are included in the program.
