Research Experiences for Undergraduates on the Oregon Coast

Co-funded by the ASSURE program of the Department of Defense in partnership with the National Science Foundation REU Site program under Grant No. NSF OCE-1004947.

From Estuaries to the Deep Sea . . .
If you are considering graduate study or a professional career in the marine sciences, developing research skills through hands-on experience is one of the most valuable learning opportunities you can have. This summer, Oregon State University will offer 20 students from all over the U.S. the opportunity to work with faculty mentors on research projects that advance knowledge and understanding of marine, coastal and estuarine environments. The Research Experience for Undergraduates program runs from June 17th to August 23rd, 2013 at both the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) in Newport and at the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences in Corvallis.
	Take advantage of the opportunity to gain research experience while exploring new fields of study, including: Geophysics, Physical Oceanography, Chemical Oceanography, Marine Biology and Ecology, Marine Geology, Estuarine Ecology, Biogeochemistry, and many others.

The HMSC in Newport is one of the largest marine labs in the Pacific Northwest, a thriving research community where students interact with university faculty and government agency scientists and have easy access to the “living laboratory” of Oregon’s coastal estuaries and the ocean. On the OSU main campus in Corvallis, the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences trains the next generation of biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanographers, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary research in world class labs and facilities. Funding for this REU site is provide by the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Science's located in Arlington, VA. The NSF contact for this program is Lisa Rom, elrom@NSF.gov or 703-292-7709. NSF does not handle REU applications; please contact each REU site directly for application information.
