REU Site: Geobiology - Marine Science at the Interface between the Life and Earth Sciences

该奖项为南加州大学箭牌环境研究所的一个REU网站提供资金。该项目的学术重点将是海洋地球生物学。该项目将在三年内每年夏季资助八名学生。学生们将在南加州大学度过十周，在各种教职员工的监督下进行独立的研究项目。学生研究的可能主题包括但不限于海洋微生物学，海洋生物地球化学，以及海洋动物的适应，进化和种群动态。学生还将参加在南加州大学卡塔利纳岛研究设施举行的迎新会，一系列实地考察，教师研讨会和小型研讨会。该计划将以一个公开的REU科学研讨会来展示学生的研究项目。

This award provides funding for an REU site at the University of Southern California's Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies. The academic focus of the program will be marine geobiology.The program will support eight students each summer for three years. The students will spend ten weeks at USC conducting independent research projects under the supervision of various faculty members. Possible topics for student research include, but are not limited to, marine microbiology, ocean biogeochemistry, and the adaptation, evolution, and population dynamics for marine animals. Students will also participate in an orientation session held at the USC research facility on Catalina Island, a series of field trips, faculty seminars, and mini-symposia. The program will culminate with a public REU science symposium showcasing the student's research projects.
