This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $393,759 to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. to host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on community-based geoscience research. The "Community-Soil-Air-Water (CSAW): A Geoscience Learning Ecosystem for Urban Environments" REU site will train 10 undergraduate students per summer to conduct place-based research on environmental issues such as community mapping, soil contamination, air quality, and water pollution. Students will work with faculty, graduate students, post-baccalaureate researchers, and community partners to develop research questions and investigate these topics from an interdisciplinary geoscience perspective. The award runs from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027 and aims to empower community members with knowledge about environmental challenges in their local areas through this community-engaged research approach.
