A new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site will be located at Texas A&M University's campus in College Station, TX. The Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (GERG) and the Department of Oceanography will host 10 REU students for 10 weeks each summer, and the program will focus on innovative ocean observing technologies. Students will have access to a suite of ocean data acquisition technologies incorporated in TAMU's offshore buoy system, glider technology, remote real-time measurements from moored instrumentation, shipboard field surveys with CTD profiling and water sampling. A group project to develop and deploy a glider mission in the Gulf of Mexico onboard a research vessel will promote team building. Training modules on sensors, data analysis, graphical representation of oceanographic data, data management, and science writing will be provided. Students will participate in weekly REU seminars, and at the program end, they will demonstrate their communication skills with a final written report and a seminar presentation at the GERG REU Student Research Symposium. Although the program is open to students who are US citizens or permanent residents attending any university, local recruitment efforts will be coordinated with faculty in the NSF-funded Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program which supports mentoring of STEM majors across TAMU branch campuses (Kingsville, Corpus Christi, Prairie View and West Texas).

新的本科生研究体验 (REU) 站点将位于德克萨斯州大学城的德克萨斯 A&M 大学校园内。 地球化学与环境研究小组 (GERG) 和海洋学系每年夏天将接待 10 名 REU 学生为期 10 周，该项目将重点关注创新的海洋观测技术。学生将能够使用 TAMU 离岸浮标系统中包含的一套海洋数据采集技术、滑翔机技术、系泊仪器的远程实时测量、带有 CTD 剖面和水采样的船上现场调查。在墨西哥湾研究船上开发和部署滑翔机任务的集体项目将促进团队建设。 将提供有关传感器、数据分析、海洋数据图形表示、数据管理和科学写作的培训模块。学生将参加每周的 REU 研讨会，并在课程结束时，他们将在 GERG REU 学生研究研讨会上通过最终书面报告和研讨会演示来展示他们的沟通技巧。尽管该计划对就读任何大学的美国公民或永久居民学生开放，但当地的招聘工作将与 NSF 资助的研究生教育联盟和教授计划 (AGEP) 的教师进行协调，该计划支持对 TAMU 的 STEM 专业进行指导分校（金斯维尔、科珀斯克里斯蒂、草原景观和西德克萨斯）。
