IRES Track I: Collaborative Research: U.S.-Indonesian Research Experience for Students on Sustainable Adaptation of Coastal Areas to Environmental Change (NSF)
PI: Magaly Koch; Co-PI: Sucharita Gopal
This project will establish a long term collaborative research and training program between US and Indonesian faculty and students. US students majoring in STEM fields will gain hands-on laboratory and field experience in coastal zone research during a six-week stay at the foreign institution. They will be mentored by foreign collaborators and US PIs through web video conferencing and workshops jointly taught at the collaborating institution. The program seeks to undertake effective, innovative, and transformative research to understand how coastal environments respond to natural and anthropogenic factors.
