The River Basins Research Initiative (RBRI) NSF-REU Site, will incorporate 15 undergraduate science majors at the sophomore or junior level into an extensive 10-week interdisciplinary research program that is focused on the biogeochemistry of river systems in the upstate of South Carolina. Nine of the students will be funded by NSF-REU and six will be funded jointly by NSF-REU and the Universidad metropolitana, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The faculty involved in this program are from the departments of earth and environmental sciences, biology, and chemistry and have developed a moded system for interdisciplinary integration. Students involved in the research will be introduced to a variety of analytical systems, work on interdisciplinary teams and participate in all phases of the research from planning, to sample collection, sample analysis, and data analysis. The long-term goals of this research program are to quantify the extent of human impact on aquatic biota in the Lower Broad River Basin in the upstate region of South Carolina and to characterize biogeochemical cycles in a subtropical weathering regime.

流域研究计划 (RBRI) NSF-REU 站点将把 15 名二年级或三年级理科专业本科生纳入一项为期 10 周的广泛跨学科研究项目，重点研究南卡罗来纳州北部河流系统的生物地球化学。 其中九名学生将由 NSF-REU 资助，六名学生将由 NSF-REU 和波多黎各圣胡安大都会大学联合资助。 参与该项目的教师来自地球与环境科学、生物学和化学系，并开发了跨学科整合的模式系统。 参与研究的学生将了解各种分析系统，在跨学科团队中工作，并参与研究从规划到样本收集、样本分析和数据分析的所有阶段。 该研究计划的长期目标是量化人类对南卡罗来纳州北部布罗德河流域下游水生生物群的影响程度，并描述亚热带风化状况下的生物地球化学循环特征。
