Oregon State University will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at its main campus in Corvallis, OR that will support twelve undergraduate interns each summer for three years. Interns will be mentored by faculty at the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). This REU Site offers research experiences in physical oceanography, ocean ecology and biogeochemistry, and marine geology and geophysics. The project includes a remote internship option, when feasible for the research project, that makes the research experience more accessible for students who cannot attend in person. The objectives of the REU program are to:1) provide students a high-quality research experience in ocean science and an understanding of its interdisciplinary nature;2) provide students with professional development and training opportunities facilitating persistence and retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career pathways; and3) increase access to and participation in ocean sciences by students from under-represented groups through recruitment efforts at regional community colleges and non-research universities.REU student projects will center around three themes, including 1) Ocean Ecology and Biogeochemistry, 2) Marine Geology and Geophysics, and 3) Physics of Oceans and Atmospheres. Ocean Ecology and Biogeochemistry is concerned with the structure and function of ecosystems across space and time as revealed by the study of the ocean's biological, chemical, and geological processes, including feedbacks between land, atmosphere and ocean. Research backgrounds of OSU faculty include population and community ecology, biogeochemical cycling, and the deep-biosphere. Marine Geology and Geophysics includes research on seafloor and seamount volcanism and extends from the study of magmatic and volcanic processes to tectonic environments in the ocean basins including spreading centers, subduction zones, and hotspots. Paleoceanography at OSU focuses on the Cascadia margin and the high-latitudes of both the Arctic and Antarctic and utilizes premier facilities including the OSU Marine and Geology Repository, one of the nation’s largest archives of marine sediment cores. OSU research in coastal and sedimentary processes emphasizes the nearshore, where ocean hazards intersect with human population and coastal ecosystems. Other subject areas include marine applications of paleomagnetism and seismology. Physics of Oceans and Atmospheres: Projects in physical oceanography include turbulent eddies, internal gravity waves, fronts, and coastal currents, as well as numerical modeling of ocean circulation on local to global scales, ocean acoustics, optics, and remote sensing, and coupled ocean-atmosphere interactions. Research areas within this theme include the study of physical processes acting across the ocean boundaries at the sea floor, coast, and sea surface, and of the ocean's role in the Earth's climate system, spanning a wide range of space and time scales, from turbulence at scales of millimeters and seconds to global circulations at scales of thousands of kilometers and centuries or longer. Research within this theme also involves expansion of observation capabilities in the ocean and atmosphere using an array of ship-based, buoy, seafloor, autonomous, and satellite platforms, as well as data assimilation, visualization, and modeling techniques and development.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.

俄勒冈州立大学将在其位于Corvallis的主要校园内为本科生（REU）现场计划提供研究经验，或者将在三年内为每年夏天的十二个本科生互动。 OSU地球，海洋和大气科学学院（CEOAS）的教师将考虑实习生。该REU网站提供了物理海洋学，海洋生态学和生物地球化学以及海洋地质与地球物理学的研究经验。该项目包括一个远程实习选项，对于研究项目可行，这使得无法亲自参加的学生更容易获得研究经验。 REU计划的目标是：1）为学生提供海洋科学领域的高质量研究经验，并了解其跨学科性质； 2）为学生提供专业发展和培训机会，以促进科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）职业途径的持久性和保留；和3）通过在区域社区学院和非研究所大学招募工作的努力，增加了代表性不足群体的学生进入和参与海洋科学的机会。REU学生项目将集中在三个主题附近，包括1）海洋生态学和生物地球化学，2）海洋地理学和地球物理学以及3）海洋和大气的物理学。海洋生态和生物地球化学与对海洋生物，化学和地质过程的研究所揭示的生态系统的结构和功能有关，包括土地，大气和海洋之间的反馈。 OSU教师的研究背景包括人口和社区生态学，生物地球化学骑自行车和深层生物球。海洋地质和地球物理学包括有关海底和海山火山的研究，从岩浆和火山过程的研究延伸到海洋鲈鱼的构造环境，包括扩展中心，俯冲区和热点。 OSU的古疗摄影集中在Cascadia的边缘以及北极和南极的高宽容上，并利用了包括OSU Marine和Geology存储库在内的主要设施，这是该国最大的海洋沉积物核心档案之一。 OSU在沿海和沉积过程中的研究强调了近岸，海洋危害与人口和沿海生态系统相交。其他主题领域包括古磁和地震学的海洋应用。海洋和大气的物理学：物理海洋学的项目包括湍流涡流，内部重力波，前沿和沿海电流，以及对本地尺度至全球尺度，海洋声学，光学和遥感的海洋循环的数值建模，以及耦合的海洋 - 气流相互作用。该主题中的研究领域包括研究在海底，海岸和海面跨海边界的物理过程，以及海洋在地球气候系统中的作用，跨越了广泛的时空尺度，从毫米和秒的尺度上的湍流到全球循环的尺度上的尺度和千年或百岁像或更长的尺度。该主题内的研究还涉及使用一系列基于船，浮标，海底，自主和卫星平台的海洋和大气中的观察能力扩展，以及数据同化，可视化技术以及建模技术和开发。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，反映了通过评估构成的支持者的支持。
