This REU Pilot will contribute to developing an interdisciplinary, systems-level understanding of the interplay between the environment and society in coastal regions using a Team Science approach. The project will host REU students at East Carolina University, Clemson University, and the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo to investigate and document how human actions positively or negatively influence coastal resilience in the face of extreme weather events, sea level rise, and population growth. The project includes important training elements in Team Science that will prepare students to effectively address problems in interdisciplinary work and graduate research settings, build their ability to communicate science to the public, and take a systems perspective on solving societal challenges. The Team Science focus of this REU is on remote collaboration between student researchers. The professional development activities and use of virtual collaboration tools to support Team Science emphasized in the project will therefore also engage students in working across geographic and cultural boundaries. These skills will prepare the students to participate in research when direct contact between research team members is not possible, including situations such as the current pandemic where isolation is due to health concern and not just geographic or cultural factors. Students will be recruited from universities across the Carolinas and Puerto Rico through PR-LSAMP and partnerships with HBCUs and 2yr Colleges to reach a wide population with varying demographic backgrounds and limited access to research opportunities. REU Students will pursue research projects across a range of interdisciplinary areas that drive the evolution of environmental and social systems. Systems science concepts will integrate projects across the REU, enabling students to identify and understand how dependencies between earth science and other disciplines impact society. Team Science and virtualization of collaboration efforts will engage REU participants in (1) online cohort building and preparatory activities over the spring prior to the REU, (2) an intensive week-long training bootcamp, and (3) seven weeks of team-based research where students are divided between the three host institutions. Professional development activities will be structured to enable the students to overcome geographic and cultural barriers to collaboration, thereby providing them a unique skill set to pursue global change research as an effective interdisciplinary team member. The project will conclude with a student Symposium where regional stakeholders will participate and view student research videos developed using science communication strategies to engage the public in their research.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.

这位REU飞行员将使用团队科学方法来发展对沿海地区环境与社会之间的相互作用的跨学科，系统级别的理解。 该项目将在东卡罗来纳大学，克莱姆森大学和阿雷西博的波多黎各大学接待REU学生，以调查和记录人类行动在面对极端天气事件，海平面上升和人口增长的情况下对人类行为的积极或负面影响。 该项目包括团队科学领域的重要培训元素，这些培训将使学生准备有效解决跨学科工作和研究生研究环境的问题，建立与公众交流科学的能力，并对解决社会挑战的系统观点。 此REU的团队科学重点是学生研究人员之间的远程合作。 因此，专业发展活动和使用虚拟协作工具支持该项目中强调的团队科学的使用也将吸引学生在地理和文化边界上工作。 当研究团队成员之间的直接接触时，这些技能将使学生们为参与研究做好准备，包括诸如当前大流行之类的情况，在这种情况下，隔离是由于健康关注而不仅仅是地理或文化因素。 将通过PR-LSAMP和HBCUS和2年学院的PR-LSAMP从Carolinas和Puerto Rico的大学中招募学生，以达到人口不同的人口，并获得了不同的研究机会。 REU学生将在一系列跨学科领域进行研究项目，以推动环境和社会系统的发展。 系统科学概念将整合整个REU的项目，使学生能够识别并了解地球科学与其他学科之间的依赖性如何影响社会。团队科学和合作工作的虚拟化将使REU参与者参与（1）在REU之前的春季在线组成和预备活动，（2）长达一周的一周培训训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练训练，以及（3）基于团队的研究七个星期，在这三个主持人机构之间分裂了学生。专业发展活动将是结构化的，以使学生能够克服合作的地理和文化障碍，从而为他们提供独特的技能，以作为有效的跨学科团队成员进行全球变化研究。 该项目将在一个学生研讨会上结束，在该研讨会上，区域利益相关者将参与并查看使用科学传播策略开发的学生研究视频，以吸引公众参与其研究。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审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
