REU Site: Aquatic Sciences, Engineering, and Technology (ASET) REU at Clarkson University

位于纽约波茨坦的克拉克森大学将举办一个名为水产科学、工程和技术（ASET）的新的本科生研究经验（REU）项目。该计划将带来八个本科生克拉克森每年夏天为期十周的研究经验在2021-2022年的夏天。 ASET将侧重于五大湖和哈德逊河流域的环境研究。REU实习生将有机会在一系列学科进行研究，重点是1）水生自然科学，2）水生社会，行为和经济科学和3）水生资源工程。提供给学生的项目将培养在生态系统生态学，种群遗传学，分子分类学，分子毒理学，计算生物学，野生动物监测和GIS分析，水生生物地球化学和湖沼学，可持续林业，水生工程，减轻废水中的硝酸盐，环境化学等方面的技能该计划包括通过研究，研讨会，专业发展和社会活动的综合学习社区。学生招聘将发展在观点，学科和人口统计学方面多样化的群体。目标是1）发展学生的研究经验; 2）发展一个多元化和支持性的学习社区; 3）加强学者的技能，创造和评估通信产品; 4）促进学者的道德和法律的方面的研究评价; 5）验证学者的学术道路，并促进在STEM相关领域的学位完成; 6）鼓励学者选择STEM职业，特别是水上运动。该奖项由生物科学理事会和海洋科学部支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York will host a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program called Aquatic Science, Engineering, and Technology (ASET). The program will bring eight undergraduates to Clarkson each summer for a ten-week research experience during the summers of 2021-2022. ASET will focus on the Great Lakes and Hudson River basin environmental research. REU interns will have opportunities to conduct research in a range of disciplines with a focus on 1) Aquatic Natural Sciences, 2) Aquatic Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences and 3) Aquatic Resource Engineering. Projects available to students will develop skills in ecosystem ecology, population genetics, molecular taxonomy, molecular toxicology, computational biology, wildlife monitoring and GIS analysis, aquatic biogeochemistry and limnology, sustainable forestry, aquatic engineering, mitigating nitrates in wastewater, environmental chemistry, etc. The program includes an integrative learning community through research, seminars, professional development, and social activities. Student recruitment will develop cohorts that are diverse in perspective, discipline, and demographics. Objectives are to 1) develop a student’s research experience; 2) develop a diverse and supportive learning community; 3) strengthen Scholars’ skills to create and evaluate communication products; 4) foster Scholars’ evaluation of the ethical and legal aspects in research; 5) validate the Scholars' academic path and facilitate degree completion in a STEM-related field; and 6) encourage Scholars to choose a career in STEM, especially in aquatics. This award is supported by the Directorate of Biological Sciences and the Division of Ocean Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
