REU Site: Biosphere-Atmosphere Studies in a Changing Global Environment

密歇根大学生物站（UMBS）将在夏季接待14名本科生参加一个以全球变化为重点的生物圈-大气科学跨学科项目。参与者将在密歇根州北部一个设备齐全的野外研究站进行动手研究，重点是生物或大气科学。这个为期9周的暑期课程将于6月的第二周开始，并将持续到8月中旬。学生将1)参加旨在提供进行科学研究所需的哲学基础和技术工具的研讨会和活动；2)与经验丰富的导师一起工作，作为正在进行的研究项目的一部分；3)设计、实施、分析和报告独立的研究项目。总的来说，参与者将在研究的所有阶段获得经验，从假设制定，通过数据收集，到研究结果的分析、解释和交流。他们将沉浸在一个由30名或更多博士研究人员和教师以及来自美国和其他国家的100名本科生和研究生组成的多元化社区中，并与之互动。UMBS REU的学生将根据学术成就、职业目标和对获得环境科学研究经验的兴趣来选择。特别鼓励来自科学领域代表性不足的少数群体的学生申请。被录取的学生将获得津贴、免费食宿、研究用品预算和往返现场的旅费。进一步的细节和更新可在www.lsa.umich.edu/umbs（点击主页上的“本科生研究经历”）。信息也可从UMBS办公室（734）763获得

The University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) will host 14 undergraduate students during summer in an interdisciplinary program of biosphere-atmosphere science focused on global change. Participants will conduct hands-on research based at a well-equipped field station in northern Michigan, with an emphasis on either biological or atmospheric science. This 9-week summer program will begin during the second week of June and will continue through mid-August. Students will 1) participate in workshops and activities designed to provide the philosophical bases and technical tools needed to conduct scientific research; 2) work with an experienced mentor as part of an on-going research project; and 3) design, conduct, analyze, and report on an independent research project. Overall, participants will gain experience in all phases of research, from hypothesis formulation, through data gathering, to analysis, interpretation and communication of research findings. They will be immersed in, and interact with, a diverse community consisting of 30 or more PhD researchers and faculty and 100 other undergraduate and graduate students from across the US and other countries. UMBS REU students will be selected based on academic achievement, career goals and an interest in obtaining research experience in environmental sciences. Students from minority groups that are underrepresented in sciences are particularly encouraged to apply. Accepted students will receive a stipend, free room and board, a budget for research supplies, and funds for travel to and from the site.
