REU Site: Summer undergraduate research internships in ocean ecology, biogeochemistry, physical oceanography, and marine geology and geophysics in the CEOAS at OSU

俄勒冈州立大学将在其位于科瓦利斯的主校区举办一项本科生研究体验(REU)网站项目，该项目将为10名本科生实习生提供支持。实习生将由俄亥俄州立大学地球、海洋和大气科学学院(CEOAS)的教职员工指导。该网站提供海洋环流物理学、海洋生态学和元素循环以及海洋地质学和地球物理学方面的研究经验。REU计划的目标是：1)为学生提供最高质量的海洋科学研究经验和对其跨学科性质的了解；2)为学生提供专业发展和培训机会，促进他们在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)职业道路上的坚持和保留；以及3)通过有针对性地在地区社区学院和四年制学院和非研究型大学为代表不足的群体服务，增加他们接触和参与海洋科学的机会。海洋观测站倡议(OOI)，它在太平洋东北部部署和维护耐力阵列；海洋和地质储存库(MGR)，它管理南极和南太平洋、北太平洋和其他地方的核心数据；PacWave，它正在建设美国第一个电网连接的波能测试设施；以及俄亥俄州立大学的海洋研究倡议。该计划包括专业发展研讨会和实地考察。以前的实习生参加了R/V Elakha号(用于沿海和河口采样)、R/V Ocean anus以及其他联合国志愿人员组织和国家海洋和大气局船队船只(用于世界各地为期数周的巡航)的研究航行。第一个RCRV，R/V Taani，将继续并发扬实习生参与海洋研究的传统，一旦交付给OSU。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Oregon State University will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at its main campus in Corvallis, OR that will support ten undergraduate interns. Interns will be mentored by faculty at the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). This REU Site offers research experiences in physics of ocean circulation, ocean ecology and elemental cycling, and marine geology and geophysics. The objectives of the REU program are to:1) provide students the highest quality research experience in ocean science and an understanding of its interdisciplinary nature;2) provide students with a professional development and training opportunity facilitating persistence and retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career pathways; and3) increase access to and participation in ocean sciences in under-represented groups through targeted recruitment efforts at regional community colleges and four-year colleges and non-research universities serving underrepresented groups.REU students in CEOAS are plugged into major research centers, institutes, and initiatives and have access to premier facilities including: the Regional Class Research Vessels (RCRV) project; the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), which deploys and maintains the Endurance Array in the northeast Pacific; the Marine and Geology Repository (MGR), which curates core collections from the Antarctic and Southern Ocean, North Pacific, and elsewhere; PacWave, which is building the first grid connecting wave energy testing facility in the U.S.; and OSU’s Marine Studies Initiative. The program includes professional development seminars and fieldtrips. Prior interns have participated in research cruises on the R/V Elakha (for coastal and estuarine sampling) , R/V Oceanus, and other UNOLS and NOAA fleet vessels (for multi-week cruises world-wide). The first of the RCRVs, the R/V Taani, will continue and build upon the tradition of intern participation in seagoing research once delivered to OSU.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.
