Texas A&M University's Department of Oceanography in College Station TX will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program from 2019-2021. The program will focus on "Observing the Ocean" and will bring ten undergraduates to TAMU for a 10-week internship each summer. Mentors will be selected from the Departments of Oceanography, Geography and Civil Engineering and the Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (GERG), and students will have access to a variety of ocean observing instrumentation and data. They will participate in a cruise aboard the R/V Pelican to collect samples and data from the nearshore and offshore environments. Seminars and training modules will focus on data analysis, graphical representation of oceanographic data, data management, science writing and professional development. Students will present at weekly REU seminars and at the final REU Student Research Symposium, and they will complete a research proposal and either a final poster or written report. Student recruitment will focus on rising Sophomores and Juniors. The TAMU REU Site will provide a total of thirty undergraduates with internships over the three-year period. The program conducts a national search for applicants and seeks to engage students who are from schools with limited research opportunities. Most of the funding provided supports student stipends, housing and travel to attend the program. The focus of potential research projects for REU students at TAMU includes ocean observing technologies and analytical skills used to understand ocean issues such as hypoxia, early warning of harmful algal blooms, effects of oil spills and other pollutants, climate-induced variability in hydrography, and effects of ocean acidification. This project supports national goals of developing the next generation of scientists and the scientific workforce.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

德克萨斯 A&M 大学位于德克萨斯州大学城的海洋学系将于 2019 年至 2021 年举办本科生研究体验 (REU) 现场项目。该项目以“观察海洋”为主题，每年夏天将带十名本科生到TAMU进行为期10周的实习。导师将从海洋学、地理和土木工程系以及地球化学和环境研究小组（GERG）中选拔，学生将有机会接触到各种海洋观测仪器和数据。他们将乘坐 R/V Pelican 参加巡航，从近岸和近海环境收集样本和数据。研讨会和培训模块将重点关注数据分析、海洋数据的图形表示、数据管理、科学写作和专业发展。学生将参加每周的 REU 研讨会和最终的 REU 学生研究研讨会，他们将完成研究计划以及最终海报或书面报告。学生招生将集中于正在崛起的二年级和三年级学生。 TAMU REU 基地将在三年内为总共 30 名本科生提供实习机会。该计划在全国范围内寻找申请人，并寻求吸引来自研究机会有限的学校的学生。提供的大部分资金用于支持学生参加该项目的津贴、住宿和交通费用。 TAMU 的 REU 学生潜在研究项目的重点包括海洋观测技术和分析技能，用于了解海洋问题，例如缺氧、有害藻华预警、石油泄漏和其他污染物的影响、气候引起的水文变化以及海洋问题。海洋酸化的影响。 该项目支持培养下一代科学家和科学劳动力的国家目标。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
