Academic Level: Undergraduate Students

Description: This program is structured as an immersion-level bench research opportunity which has been provided for more than 240 undergraduates nationwide during the last 22 years of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program at the Center for Great Lakes Studies (CGLS). The interdisciplinary nature of CGLS provides positions in classical geology, geochemistry, physical chemistry, optics, aquatic zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, fish biology/ecology/aquaculture, and biochemistry/physiology of aquatic organisms. Policy and economics will be considered as well. Students develop a research proposal, learn appropriate analytical methods and apply them to their research, participate in related field sampling, and finally prepare and present poster and oral final reports. Interlaced with these activities are workshops on career opportunities, graduate school options, "lifetime highlights" of active scientists and prior REU students now in graduate s chool at CGLS, preparing reports, etc.
