Georgia State University will host the Community-Soil-Air-Water (CSAW) Research Experience for Undergraduates. This REU site will train 10 students per summer to conduct geoscience-focused community-based research. Community-based research focuses on the need to do research with and for communities. Students will work with community fellows, graduate students, post-baccalaureate researchers, and faculty to develop research questions. Teams will work from an interdisciplinary perspective while drawing on geoscience disciplinary knowledge. The research outcomes will help empower community members with knowledge about their environmental-related issues.This Research Experience for Undergraduates program will train ten undergraduate students each summer in community-based research, with a focus on geoscience topics. Scholarship shows that answering pressing questions around environmental threats requires training scientists to work equitably and accountably with communities and community partners. With research themes of community, soil, air, and water, CSAW REU students from diverse backgrounds will be integrated into the larger CSAW learning ecosystem of M.S. and post-baccalaureate researchers. A diverse group of community fellows, faculty, M.S., and post-baccalaureate researchers will mentor and guide the REU students, who will answer community-driven questions from an interdisciplinary perspective while drawing on key disciplinary knowledge in the fields of geography, critical GIS, climate change, hydrology, soil sciences, and more. This mentoring structure will cross multiple career stages and career paths, allowing for and amplifying mutual learning and collaboration in place-based action research. Students will conduct place-based research around themes of community mapping, soil lead and arsenic contamination from brownfields, air temperature and weather extremes, and water pollution and industrial discharges.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.

佐治亚州立大学将为本科生提供社区 - 土壤 - 空气水（CSAW）研究经验。该REU网站将每个夏天培训10名学生，以进行以地球科学为中心的社区研究。基于社区的研究重点是与社区进行研究的需求。学生将与社区研究员，研究生，学士后的研究人员和教师合作，以制定研究问题。团队将从跨学科的角度工作，同时借鉴地球科学学科知识。研究成果将有助于使社区成员能够了解与环境相关问题的知识。本科生的研究经验将在每年夏天培训十个本科生的基于社区的研究，重点是地球科学主题。奖学金表明，回答有关环境威胁的紧迫问题需要培训科学家对社区和社区合作伙伴的公平和负责任。通过社区，土壤，空气和水的研究主题，来自不同背景的CSAW REU学生将融入M.S.的更大的CSAW学习生态系统中。和后库后研究人员。一组社区研究员，教师，硕士和后库后的研究人员将指导和指导REU学生，他们将从跨学科的角度回答社区驱动的问题，同时借鉴地理，关键的GIS，气候变化，气候变化，水文科学等领域的重要学科知识。这种指导结构将跨越多个职业阶段和职业道路，从而允许并扩大基于基于的行动研究的相互学习和协作。学生将围绕布朗菲尔德（Brownfields），空气温度和极端天气以及水污染和工业排放的社区地图，土壤铅和砷污染的主题进行基于场所的研究。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影响的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
