REU Site: Sustainable RIVER (Remediating InVasives to Encourage Resilience)This REU Site award to the University of South Dakota, located in Vermillion, SD, will support the training of 10 students for 11 weeks during the summers of 2017-2019. REU students participating in the Sustainable RIVER project will examine the functioning and management of the Missouri River as a lens through which to study complex, interdisciplinary systems. Through individual research projects with faculty mentors from USD's multi-disciplinary Missouri River Institute, students will address the question of how invasive elements in the Missouri River and its uplands affect the sustainability of the river and the humans who depend on it. Students will also meet as a team weekly to integrate knowledge gained from the individual projects to create a team project to address the question of how a more resilient Missouri River, which meets the needs of multiple stakeholders and sustains diverse, functioning ecosystems, can be cultivated.It is anticipated that a total of thirty students will be trained in the program. Active recruitment efforts will focus on Native American students, students in sustainability programs across the US, and students attending 2- and 4-year institutions in South Dakota. There will be an explicit focus in the Sustainable RIVER project on the critical pedagogy of place, where students learn how to live sustainably in places that have been disrupted while learning to recognize and address the causes of such disruptions. The Sustainable RIVER project will create student scientists who will become leaders in interdisciplinary research and leaders in creating a more sustainable society through their development of a multi-perspective, systems-thinking approach to understanding and addressing complex challenges. A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure (Directorate for Biological Sciences) will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine student career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about the program is available by visiting http://SustainableRIVER.org or by contacting the PI (Dr. Meghann Jarchow at [e-mail]). This REU site is co-funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure (Directorate for Biological Sciences), and the Division of Earth Sciences (Directorate for Geosciences).

REU站点：可持续河流(补救入侵以鼓励韧性)这个REU站点奖授予位于南达科他州弗米尔市的南达科他州大学，将在2017-2019年夏季支持10名学生为期11周的培训。参加可持续河流项目的REU学生将研究密苏里河的功能和管理，以此作为研究复杂、跨学科系统的镜头。通过与大学多学科密苏里河研究所的教师指导的个人研究项目，学生们将解决密苏里河及其高地中的入侵元素如何影响河流及其赖以生存的人类的可持续性的问题。学生们还将以团队形式每周开会，整合从个人项目中获得的知识，创建一个团队项目，以解决如何培养一条更具弹性的密苏里河的问题，该河流满足多个利益相关者的需求，并维持多样化、功能性的生态系统。预计该项目将总共培训30名学生。积极的招生工作将集中在美国原住民学生，全美可持续发展项目的学生，以及南达科他州2年制和4年制院校的学生。可持续河流项目将明确把重点放在地方的批判性教学法上，在那里，学生学习如何在被破坏的地方可持续地生活，同时学习识别和解决这种破坏的原因。可持续河流项目将培养学生科学家，他们将成为跨学科研究的领导者，并通过发展多视角、系统思维的方法来理解和应对复杂的挑战，创造一个更可持续的社会。将使用生物基础设施司(生物科学局)资助的所有REU项目使用的通用网络评估工具来确定培训方案的有效性。项目结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定学生的职业道路。学生将被要求回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http://SustainableRIVER.org或联系国际组织([e-mail])。该REU网站由生物基础设施司(生物科学局)和地球科学司(地球科学局)共同资助。
