Research Experiences in Estuarine Science for Undergraduates at Mote Marine Laboratory: Developing a New Generation of Leaders in Ocean Sciences

0453955该奖项为莫特海洋实验室的REU站点计划提供了新的资金。REU站点通过提案01-39392获得了初始资金。第一个REU项目是在2003年和2004年夏天运行的。该项目每年夏天将带8-10名学生到实验室进行为期10周的学习。该地点的智力重点将放在与河口科学有关的基础和应用研究上，特别是应用于水生污染、天然毒素、生境改变和珊瑚礁衰退方面的研究。学生还将参加有关基本职业技能的讨论小组、研究研讨会和实地考察。他们将被要求在项目结束时完成关于他们的研究课题的书面和口头报告。

0453955This award provides renewed funding for an REU Site program at Mote Marine Laboratory. The REU Site received initial funding via proposal 01-39392. The first REU programs were run in the summer of 2003 and 2004. The program will bring 8-10 students to the laboratory each summer for a 10-week program. The intellectual focus of the site will be on basic and applied research related to estuarine science, particularly as applied to aquatic pollution, natural toxins, habitat alteration and coral reef decline. Students will also participate in discussion groups on essential career skills, research seminars, and field trips. They will be expected to complete written and oral reports on their research topic at the end of the program.
