Research Experience for Undergraduates enters into its 7th year

REU in Subtropical Marine Ecosystems (REUiSME) is a summer research program for undergraduates at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute that is funded by the National Science Foundation. Student projects take advantage of the wide variety of coastal habitats near the Institute, including shallow bays, hypersaline lagoons, seagrass beds, estuaries, mangroves, and marshes. The 10-week summer program begins with a kayaking trip to explore the local habitats and ends with a symposium in which students will present their research results.  Students have already posted their first blog entry describing their project, check them out, it is a great group of students this year! http://reu.utmsi.utexas.edu
