AbstractThe Summer Yosemite Research Training in Environmental Science program offers undergraduate students a unique opportunity to actively experience field research in environmental science in a premier National Park, over a nine-week period in the summer. This REU is a collaboration between three institutions (the University of California at Merced, Yosemite National Park, and the USGS Western Ecological Research Center), and students interact with professionals engaged in multiple park-related activities, from research to management. Student activities mainly consist of individual research projects, spanning a broad range of disciplines such as Ecology, Geosciences, Biodiversity, Conservation, Restoration, Hydrology, and Engineering. Research training is provided by mentors from UC Merced (Schools of Natural Sciences, Engineering, and Social Sciences) and the USGS Western Ecological Research Center. Students also participate in a series of field trips and lectures led by teams of researchers and National Park Service staff members, focusing on Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. The Summer Yosemite Research Training in Environmental Science includes several outreach activities, such as a student research poster exhibit in the Park facilities for the general public, and a one-day field trip with high school students from the Central Valley of California (led by REU students at the end of the project). Students are recruited from the University of California at Merced, colleges in the Central Valley, and colleges nationwide.

摘要夏季优胜美地环境科学研究培训项目为本科生提供了一个独特的机会，让他们在夏季为期九周的时间里，在一流的国家公园积极体验环境科学的实地研究。该 REU 是三个机构（加州大学默塞德分校、优胜美地国家公园和美国地质调查局西部生态研究中心）之间的合作项目，学生与从事从研究到管理等多个公园相关活动的专业人士进行互动。学生活动主要包括个人研究项目，涵盖生态学、地球科学、生物多样性、保护、恢复、水文学和工程学等广泛学科。研究培训由加州大学默塞德分校（自然科学学院、工程学院和社会科学学院）和美国地质调查局西部生态研究中心的导师提供。学生还参加由研究人员和国家公园管理局工作人员团队领导的一系列实地考察和讲座，重点关注优胜美地和内华达山脉。夏季优胜美地环境科学研究培训包括多项外展活动，例如在公园设施中为公众举办的学生研究海报展览，以及与来自加利福尼亚州中央山谷的高中生进行为期一天的实地考察（由 REU 领导）项目结束时的学生）。学生来自加州大学默塞德分校、中央谷地区的学院以及全国各地的学院。如需了解更多信息，请通过 [e-mail] 联系 Benoit Dayrat 博士或访问 http://qsb.ucmerced.edu/faculty/bdayrat/lab/REU.html。
