The Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL), located on the Gulf of Mexico in southern Alabama, will offer 10-week summer research experiences to 8 undergraduate students each summer for two years. Students will work with mentors who share their research interests and carry out independent research while interacting with graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and faculty in a setting with ready access to the nearshore environment. REU students will participate in a series of workshops designed to develop critical skills in experimental design, scientific writing and presentations. The students, under the guidance of faculty mentors, will then design, implement, analyze and report on independent laboratory and field research projects. Projects will focus on coastal and nearshore processes in the waters surrounding the research station. Research questions may address aspects of ecology, fisheries biology, evolution, ecosystem interactions, conservation, microbiology, biogeochemistry and physical oceanography. The REU students will attend seminars by DISL and visiting faculty, interact with resident graduate students and participate in individual lab group meetings, providing opportunities to explore research topics outside of their own projects. Students will also be encouraged to publish results of their research and to attend scientific conferences to present their work.

位于阿拉巴马州南部墨西哥湾的Dauphin Island Sea Lab（不喜欢）将为每年夏天的8个本科生提供10周的夏季研究经验，共两年。学生将与分享研究兴趣并进行独立研究的导师合作，同时与研究生，博士后研究人员和教职员工进行互动，并可以随时进入近岸环境。 REU学生将参加一系列旨在发展实验设计，科学写作和演示文稿的关键技能的研讨会。在教师导师的指导下，学生将在独立实验室和现场研究项目上设计，实施，分析和报告。项目将着重于研究站周围水域的沿海和近岸过程。研究问题可以解决生态学，渔业生物学，进化，生态系统相互作用，保护，微生物学，生物地球化学和物理海洋学的各个方面。 REU学生将通过不喜欢和访问教师参加研讨会，与居民研究生互动并参加个别实验室小组会议，从而提供了机会，以探索自己项目之外的研究主题。还将鼓励学生发布他们的研究结果并参加科学会议以展示他们的工作。
