REU Site: An Interdisciplinary Program for Climate Change Science in Metropolitan Coastal Communities at Old Dominion University

该合同在弗吉尼亚州诺福克的旧道明大学（ODU）海洋、地球和大气科学系（OEAS）内创建了一个新的NSF REU站点，重点研究气候变化和海平面上升（SLR）。ODU位于沿海城市环境中，直接受到沿海洪水和灾害的影响。PI每年夏天将带10名学生到OEAS，为期两年，完成为期10周的REU项目。学生将在导师的实验室从事研究项目。为了更广泛地了解气候科学和单反，学生们将听取每位导师的讲座，介绍他们各自与城市气候变化和单反有关的研究，并进行各种实验室参观和实地考察。PI还将提供以下方面的指导：1)保留适当的实验室笔记本，2)撰写研究计划书，3)批判性地阅读期刊文章，4)创建有效的演示文稿，以及5)口头和书面（例如海报）科学演示文稿。学生将在期末论文和研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。

This award creates a new NSF REU site focused on climate change and sea level rise (SLR) within the Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Science (OEAS) at Old Dominion University (ODU), in Norfolk, VA. ODU is located in a coastal urban environment that is directly affected by coastal flooding and hazards. The PI's will bring 10 students to OEAS each summer for two years to complete a 10 week REU program. Students will be engaged in research projects in the laboratories of their mentors. To garner a broader understanding of climate science and SLR, students will be informed with lectures from each mentor on their respective research related to urban climate change and SLR and a variety of lab tours and field trips. The PI's will also conduct tutorials on: 1) keeping a proper laboratory notebook, 2) writing a research prospectus, 3) critically reading journal articles, 4) creating effective presentations, and 5) delivering oral and written (e.g., poster) scientific presentations. Students will present their research in a final paper and a symposium.
