REU Site: Jane Teranes - Scripps Undergraduate Research Fellowship program

加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)的S·斯克里普斯海洋研究所(SIO)将举办一个本科生研究实验网站。REU项目将在为期三年的时间里，每年夏天将10名本科生带到SIO。该项目是一个为期10周的暑期项目，邀请来自全国各地的本科生。课程内容包括综合研究项目、研究研讨会、专业发展研讨会、实地考察和参加研究研讨会。这个REU网站的主要目标是吸引和留住海洋和地球科学及相关领域的不同人才本科生。暑期实习结束后，还将鼓励和支持学生出席全国研究会议。该计划将为有现场可访问性问题的学生试行远程参与模式。斯克里普斯大学与海洋相关的科学知识的广度使几乎所有科学和工程学科的学生都可以访问该项目，包括物理、化学、地质学、数学、生态学、生理学、分子/生物技术、环境科学和技术/计算机科学。可能的研究主题的例子包括：检查各种近海和陆上地点的地震数据，以评估潜在的地震触发因素；调查海洋微生物如何从海水中获得它们所需的化学营养；利用合作渔业伙伴的数据，了解敏感物种的动态；利用现代工具，了解全球尘埃输送；利用历史数据，了解地球磁发电机的动态；研究冰川下淡水排放对搁浅和冰架稳定性的影响；利用遥感数据，更好地了解极地洋流；地球科学中的数据同化和反问题；利用尖端技术，更好地了解海洋和大气之间的气溶胶传输；调查微生物相互作用如何为改善海洋环境中的人为影响提供机会。学生们获得津贴、参加项目的旅费和项目期间的住房。学生可以得到支持，在科学会议上展示他们的研究成果。这个REU网站的目标是吸引和留住海洋和地球科学及相关领域的不同人才本科生。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，被认为是值得支持的。

The University of California San Diego (UCSD)'s Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) will host a Research Expereince for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU program will bring ten undergraduates to SIO each summer for three years. The program is a 10-week summer program that invites undergraduate students from across the country. Program components include a comprehensive research project, research seminars, professional development workshops, field trips, and participation in a research symposium. The primary goal of this REU site is to attract and retain a diverse pool of talented undergraduate students in marine and earth science and related fields. After the summer internship, the students will also be encouraged and supported to present at a national research conference. The program will pilot a remote participation model for students with on-site accessibility issues.The breadth of ocean-related sciences at Scripps makes it accessible to students from practically all science and engineering disciplines, including physics, chemistry, geology, mathematics, ecology, physiology, molecular/biotechnology, environmental sciences and technology/computer science. Examples of possible research topics include: examining seismic data from a variety of offshore and onshore locations to assess potential earthquake triggers; investigating how marine microbes obtain the chemical nutrients they need from seawater; using data from cooperative fisheries partners to understand the dynamics of sensitive species; using modern tools to understand global dust transport; using historical data to understand the dynamics of Earth’s magnetic dynamo; looking at the impact of subglacial freshwater discharge on grounding line and ice shelf stability; using remotely sensed data to better understand polar ocean currents; data assimilation and inverse problems in Earth science; using cutting edge technology to better understand aerosol transfer between the ocean and the atmosphere; investigating how microbial interactions present opportunities to ameliorate anthropogenic impacts in marine environments. Students receive a stipend, travel funding to attend the program and housing for the duration of the program. Students may receive support to present their research at scientific conferences. The goal of this REU site is to attract and retain a diverse pool of talented undergraduate students in marine and earth science and related fields.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.
