This award creates a new NSF REU site focused on climate change and sea level rise (SLR) within the Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Science (OEAS) at Old Dominion University (ODU), in Norfolk, VA. ODU is located in a coastal urban environment that is directly affected by coastal flooding and hazards. The PI's will bring 10 students to OEAS each summer for two years to complete a 10 week REU program. Students will be engaged in research projects in the laboratories of their mentors. To garner a broader understanding of climate science and SLR, students will be informed with lectures from each mentor on their respective research related to urban climate change and SLR and a variety of lab tours and field trips. The PI's will also conduct tutorials on: 1) keeping a proper laboratory notebook, 2) writing a research prospectus, 3) critically reading journal articles, 4) creating effective presentations, and 5) delivering oral and written (e.g., poster) scientific presentations. Students will present their research in a final paper and a symposium.

该奖项在弗吉尼亚州诺福克市奥道明大学 (ODU) 的海洋、地球和大气科学 (OEAS) 系内创建了一个新的 NSF REU 站点，重点关注气候变化和海平面上升 (SLR)。 ODU 位于沿海城市环境，直接受到沿海洪水和灾害的影响。 PI 每年夏天都会带 10 名学生到 OEAS，为期两年，完成为期 10 周的 REU 课程。 学生将在导师的实验室中从事研究项目。为了对气候科学和 SLR 有更广泛的了解，学生将听取每位导师关于其各自与城市气候变化和 SLR 相关研究的讲座以及各种实验室参观和实地考察。 PI 还将开展以下方面的教程：1) 保存适当的实验室笔记本，2) 撰写研究说明书，3) 批判性地阅读期刊文章，4) 创建有效的演示文稿，以及 5) 进行口头和书面（例如海报）科学演示。学生将在期末论文和研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。
