REU Site: Ocean Sciences & Engineering at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 2019-2021 Program

位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）将举办一个本科生研究体验（REU）网站，该网站将为十名学生提供为期三年的为期十周的积极学习体验。每个暑期学生研究员（SSF）都与WHOI学术部门之一的顾问相匹配。 研究员与他们的顾问合作，在他们到达WHOI的头几周内完成工作计划。在夏季，每个SSF做两个演示：一个五分钟的仲夏口头进度报告，并对他们的研究最终口头或海报演示。需要一份书面的最终项目报告。专业发展活动包括一个特别的系列讲座，在R.V. Tioga上为期一天的实地体验，为期半天的负责任的研究工作坊，WHOI图形部门就如何准备科学海报进行培训，以及与博士后和研究生小组讨论研究生院。鼓励研究员在科学期刊上发表论文，并在实习结束后在科学会议上介绍他们的研究。WHOI REU网站将在三年内为30名本科生提供实习机会。该计划在全国范围内寻找申请人，并寻求吸引来自研究机会有限的学校的学生。提供的大部分资金用于支持学生的助学金、住房和参加该项目的旅行。REU学生在WHOI的潜在研究项目的范围是广泛的，由学生在广泛的学科和子学科进行高质量的研究。WHOI是世界上最大的独立海洋学机构和研究船队运营商之一。研究员使用最先进的分析仪器，取样装置和建模程序，在广泛的学科，包括生物学，海洋化学和地球化学，地质学和海洋物理学，物理海洋学，海洋政策和海洋工程的研究项目。贯穿各学科的研究主题包括海洋和气候、变化中的北极、深海勘探、海洋观测系统、海洋地球化学过程和循环、自主水下航行器和系统、海底过程和演变以及人与海洋的相互作用和影响。该项目支持培养下一代科学家和科学工作者的国家目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) in Woods Hole, MA will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site that will provide ten students with a ten-week active learning experience each summer for three years. Each Summer Student Fellow (SSF) is matched with an advisor(s) from one of the academic departments at WHOI. Fellows work with their advisor to complete a work plan within their first few weeks of arriving at WHOI. During the summer, each SSF makes two presentations: a five-minute mid-summer oral progress report, and a final oral or poster presentation on their research. A written final project report is required. Professional development activities include a special lecture series, a one-day field experience on the R.V. Tioga, a half-day Responsible Conduct of Research workshop, training by the WHOI graphics department on how to prepare a scientific poster, and discussions about graduate school with a panel of postdocs and graduate students. Fellows are encouraged to publish papers in scientific journals and to present their research at scientific meetings after the internship is completed.The WHOI REU Site will provide a total of thirty undergraduates with internships over the three-year period. The program conducts a national search for applicants and seeks to engage students who are from schools with limited research opportunities. Most of the funding provided supports student stipends, housing and travel to attend the program. The range of potential research projects for REU students at WHOI is extensive, with high-quality research conducted by the students in a wide range of disciplines and sub-disciplines. WHOI is one of the largest independent oceanographic institutions and research fleet operators in the world. Fellows use state of the art analytical instruments, sampling devices and modeling programs for their research projects in a wide range of disciplines, including biology, marine chemistry and geochemistry, geology and geophysics, physical oceanography, ocean policy and ocean engineering. Research themes that crosscut disciplines include oceans and climate, the changing Arctic, deep-sea exploration, ocean observing systems, biogeochemical processes and cycles, autonomous underwater vehicles and systems, seafloor processes and evolution, and human-ocean interactions and impacts. This project supports national goals of developing the next generation of scientists and the scientific workforce.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.
