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.

德克萨斯州A＆M大学的海洋学系在德克萨斯州，将于2019 - 2021年为本科生（REU）现场计划提供研究经验。该计划将重点介绍“观察海洋”，并将每年夏天将十名本科生带到TAMU进行10周的实习。导师将从海洋学，地理和土木工程部以及地球化学和环境研究小组（GER）中选出，学生将可以使用各种海洋观察仪器和数据。他们将参加R/V Pelican上的邮轮，以从近岸和近海环境中收集样品和数据。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。学生将在每周的REU研讨会和最终的REU学生研究研讨会上举行，他们将完成一项研究建议以及最终的海报或书面报告。学生招聘将专注于大二和大三学生。 TAMU REU网站将在三年期间为实习提供三十个本科生。该计划对申请人进行全国搜索，并寻求吸引研究机会有限的学校的学生。大多数资金提供了支持学生津贴，住房和旅行参加该计划的支持。 TAMU的REU学生的潜在研究项目的重点包括海洋观察技术和用于了解海洋问题的分析技能，例如缺氧，有害藻类绽放的预警，溢油和其他污染物的影响，水文的气候变异性以及海洋酸化的影响。 该项目支持了发展下一代科学家和科学劳动力的国家目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估值得支持的。
