Research Experiences for Students:
Research education is a key component of ERI’s mission. This fiscal year, ERI supported 83 graduate student researchers and 157 undergraduate students and another 298 volunteered. The students were involved in a wide range of projects. Undergraduates have been involved in the NASA-funded Plumes and Blooms project, taking part in one-day optical oceanography cruises in the Santa Barbara Channel. The Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (CEIN) has included multiple students in their research efforts. Many students took classes, interned, or were employed by the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER) learning restoration and management skills, natural history collection management, and K-12 science education.
