Renewal: REU Site: From the Intertidal to the Deep Ocean: Monterey Bay Regional Ocean Science REU Program

加州州立大学蒙特利湾分校(CSUMB)将举办一个专注于海洋和沿海科学的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。CSUMB是一家西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)，拥有强大的本科生研究计划，将作为蒙特利湾地区REU计划的枢纽。除了在CSUMB的研究机会，他们还将把学生分配到五个合作机构：海军研究生院、埃尔克霍恩斯劳国家河口研究保护区、斯坦福大学霍普金斯海洋站、蒙特利湾水族馆研究所和苔藓登陆海洋实验室。该计划利用蒙特利湾地区的科学和教育资产，增加为海洋科学职业生涯做准备的学生的多样性和数量。该计划将：1)招收学员，重点是来自代表性不足的群体和研究有限机构的学生；2)在为期10周的REU之前为学生进行严格的原创研究做好准备；3)让学生参与海洋学、海洋生物学和生态学、海洋工程和海洋地质学的创新研究；4)在REU期间和之后为学生提供严谨的研究和专业发展支持，以保持对海洋科学的兴趣和参与；以及5)在REU的所有阶段为学生提供高素质的教师指导。实习生将有各种各样的选择来获得研究经验。海洋学课程包括：痕量金属分析、生物海洋学、内波动力学、海洋分析和预测、海洋模型、近岸过程和海岸环流。海洋生物学和生态学的主题包括海洋景观生态学、海洋微生物学、鱼类生态学、海洋生理学、种群遗传学、入侵生态学、保护生物学、热应激生理学和生物力学。海洋地质学课程包括海岸侵蚀、沉积物运输、海底测绘、生物地球化学分析、上升流沉积学、生物成因沉积物和海岸环境地貌学。海洋工程主题包括遥控航行器(ROV)、自主水下航行器(AUV)、海洋仪器、计算机编程和人工智能。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) campus will host an Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on ocean and coastal sciences. CSUMB, a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) with a strong undergraduate research program, will serve as the hub of the Monterey Bay Regional REU program. In addition to research opportunities at CSUMB, they will place students at five partner institutions: Naval Postgraduate School, Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and Moss Landing Marine Laboratory. The program leverages the scientific and educational assets of the Monterey Bay Region to increase the diversity and number of students prepared for careers in Ocean Science. The program will: 1) recruit participants with an emphasis on students from underrepresented groups and those from research limited institutions; 2) prepare students in advance of the 10-week REU for the rigors of undertaking original research; 3) engage students in innovative research in Oceanography, Marine Biology and Ecology, Ocean Engineering, and Marine Geology; 4) provide rigorous research and professional development support for students during and after the REU to maintain interest and involvement in the Ocean Sciences; and 5) provide students with high caliber faculty mentoring across all phases of the REU. Interns will have a wide variety of options for research experiences. Oceanography topics include, Trace Metal Analysis, Biological Oceanography, Internal Wave Dynamics, Ocean Analysis and Prediction, Ocean Modeling, Nearshore Processes, and Coastal Circulation. Marine biology and ecology topics include Marine Landscape Ecology, Marine Microbiology, Fish Ecology, Marine Physiology, Population Genetics, Invasion Ecology, Conservation Biology, Thermal Stress Physiology, and Biomechanics. Marine Geology topics include Coastal Erosion, Sediment Transport, Seafloor Mapping, Biogeochemical Analysis, Sedimentology of Upwelling, Biogenic Sediments, and Geomorphology of Coastal Environments. Ocean Engineering topics include Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), Ocean Instrumentation, Computer Programming, and Artificial Intelligence.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.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.
