REU Site: Research Experiences in Marine Organism Health: Resilience and Response to Environmental Change

查尔斯顿学院获得了一项奖励，将在2011 - 2013年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。该项目还得到地球科学局海洋科学司的支持。该方案的重点是海洋生物健康的多学科主题：对环境变化的恢复力和反应，调查气候变化、自然灾害、污染和沿海发展的影响。有各种各样的研究项目可供学生选择，从个体层面的海洋生物到社区和人口层面。REU的学生需要进行全职的实验室研究，并参加研讨会、实地考察和各种研讨会，例如负责任的研究行为，与专业、教育和公众受众的沟通，以及研究生院的申请过程。REU学生将住在约翰逊堡海洋资源中心的格赖斯海洋实验室宿舍。他们可以使用各种各样的实验室和现场设备，包括个人导师实验室和约翰逊堡联邦和州实验室的共享设施。该计划的招聘工作分为多个阶段，包括传统的邮寄和传单、数字广告和个人联系。参与者的选择是基于杰出的学术和个人成就，研究经历对他们的潜在好处，以及学生给团队带来的多样性。跟踪学生，以确定他们对科学和数学学科的持续兴趣，他们的职业道路，以及研究经历的持久影响。有关该计划的信息将通过各种方式进行评估，包括使用REU通用评估工具。更多信息可访问http://www.coc.edu/reu或联系PI （Lou Burnett博士burnettl@cofc.edu）或Co-PI （Karen Burnett博士burnettk@cofc.edu）。

An award has been made to the College of Charleston that will provide research training for 10 students for 10 weeks, during the summers of 2011 - 2013. This project is also supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) in the Directorate for Geosciences. The Program focuses on the multidisciplinary theme of Marine Organism Health: Resilience and Response to Environmental Change, investigating the impacts of climate change, natural disasters, pollution, and coastal development. There is a wide variety of research projects available to students, ranging from marine organisms at the individual level, to the community and population levels. REU students are expected to do full-time lab research as well as participate in seminars, field trips and various workshops, such as responsible conduct in research, communication with professional, educational and public audiences, and the graduate school application process. REU students are expected to live on-site in the dormitory of the Grice Marine Laboratory at the Fort Johnson Marine Resources Center. They have access to a wide array of laboratory and field equipment both within individual mentor labs and shared facilities of the federal and state laboratories at Fort Johnson. The program's multi-phase recruitment effort consists of both traditional mailings and flyers, digital-based advertising and personal contacts. Participants are selected based on outstanding academic and personal achievement, on the potential benefits of the research experience to them, and on the diversity that the student brings to the group. Students are tracked to determine their continued interest in science and math disciplines, their career paths, and the lasting influences of the research experience. Information about the program will be assessed by various means, including use of an REU common assessment tool.
