REU Site: Summer undergraduate research internships in ocean ecology, biogeochemistry, physical oceanography, and marine geology and geophysics in the CEOAS at OSU

俄勒冈州立大学将在其位于俄勒冈州科瓦利斯的主校区举办本科生研究体验（REU）项目，该项目将支持10名本科生实习生。实习生将由俄勒冈州立大学地球、海洋和大气科学学院（CEOAS）的教师指导。该网站提供海洋环流物理学、海洋生态学和元素循环、海洋地质学和地球物理学的研究经验。REU计划的目标是：1)为学生提供最高质量的海洋科学研究经验，并了解其跨学科性质；2)为学生提供专业发展和培训机会，促进他们在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）职业道路上的坚持和保留；3)通过在地区社区学院、四年制学院和服务于代表性不足群体的非研究型大学进行有针对性的招聘工作，增加代表性不足群体接触和参与海洋科学的机会。REU在CEOAS的学生可以进入主要的研究中心、研究所和倡议，并可以使用一流的设施，包括：区域级研究船（RCRV）项目；海洋观测倡议（OOI），在东北太平洋部署和维护耐力阵列；海洋和地质储存库（MGR），它收藏了来自南极和南大洋、北太平洋和其他地方的核心藏品；PacWave正在建设美国第一个连接波浪能测试设施的电网；以及俄勒冈州立大学的海洋研究计划。该计划包括专业发展研讨会和实地考察。以前的实习生曾参加Elakha号（沿海和河口取样）、Oceanus号和其他联卢观察团和NOAA船队船只的研究巡航（在世界各地进行为期数周的巡航）。第一艘rcrv， R/V Taani，将在交付俄勒冈州立大学后继续并建立实习生参与航海研究的传统。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

Oregon State University will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at its main campus in Corvallis, OR that will support ten undergraduate interns. Interns will be mentored by faculty at the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). This REU Site offers research experiences in physics of ocean circulation, ocean ecology and elemental cycling, and marine geology and geophysics. The objectives of the REU program are to:1) provide students the highest quality research experience in ocean science and an understanding of its interdisciplinary nature;2) provide students with a professional development and training opportunity facilitating persistence and retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career pathways; and3) increase access to and participation in ocean sciences in under-represented groups through targeted recruitment efforts at regional community colleges and four-year colleges and non-research universities serving underrepresented groups.REU students in CEOAS are plugged into major research centers, institutes, and initiatives and have access to premier facilities including: the Regional Class Research Vessels (RCRV) project; the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), which deploys and maintains the Endurance Array in the northeast Pacific; the Marine and Geology Repository (MGR), which curates core collections from the Antarctic and Southern Ocean, North Pacific, and elsewhere; PacWave, which is building the first grid connecting wave energy testing facility in the U.S.; and OSU’s Marine Studies Initiative. The program includes professional development seminars and fieldtrips. Prior interns have participated in research cruises on the R/V Elakha (for coastal and estuarine sampling) , R/V Oceanus, and other UNOLS and NOAA fleet vessels (for multi-week cruises world-wide). The first of the RCRVs, the R/V Taani, will continue and build upon the tradition of intern participation in seagoing research once delivered to OSU.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.
