Maryland Sea Grant College Undergraduate Research Experience in Estuarine Processes

www.mdsg.umd.edu/Education/REU/

Maryland Sea Grant, with support from the National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program supports fourteen undergraduates while they conduct marine research on the Chesapeake Bay — the program is especially designed for students majoring in such fields as biology, chemistry, ecology, physics, engineering, mathematics and marine and environmental science. During this 12-week program, each student will work with an advisor on an individual research project at one of two labs located on the Chesapeake Bay: the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science's (UMCES) Chesapeake Biological Laboratory at Solomons, Maryland, or its Horn Point Laboratory, at Cambridge, Maryland.

Research areas include: • estuarine processes • fisheries • benthic environment • biogeochemistry • physical oceanography • submerged aquatic vegetation • contaminants • chemical oceanography • molecular biology

The Maryland Sea Grant REU Program will provide each fellow with a stipend, housing and round-trip travel expenses to the University of Maryland. Applicants should have completed two years of study toward a bachelor's degree and must still be undergraduates in the Fall of the they apply. Students must also be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or its possessions. The program is particularly interested in encouraging applications from underrepresented groups in the marine sciences.
