Research Experiences for Undergraduates on the Oregon Coast

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 14th to August 20th, 2010 at the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) in Newport and at the College of Oceanic 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 Oceanic 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.
Eligibility Currently enrolled undergraduates who have by June 2010 completed at least two years of coursework may apply. (Eligibility limited to U.S. citizens) REU interns receive a weekly stipend, housing on-site, and round-trip transportation from their home area.
