This award will provide continuing support for a Research                       Experiences for Undergraduates Site at Augustana College.  This                 project will support undergraduate participation in a focused                   research program which integrates the research activities of                    eight investigators, five from Augustana College, one from St.                  Olaf College, one from The Nature Conservancy and one from Black                Hills State.  The projects are integrated at the scientific level               because of the common interests in prairie ecology and                          paleoecology and because aspects of each project benefit from the               applications of the stable isotopes of C and N to the research                  methodology.  This project will provide a coherent group and a                  unique methodology to approach paleoecological reconstructions in               a geographic area of rich ecological resources.                                                                                                                 Ten students will study field and laboratory problems with a                    common focus.  They will be expected to gain some mastery of the                theoretical basis for their study as well as the experimental                   design and ultimate interpretation.  Weekly seminars and                        workshops will review each project's theoretical basis and                      research design; enhance the student's library, laboratory and                  data handling research skills; and broaden their understanding of               the related projects.  The ten-week summer program will be                      followed by an academic year REU Symposium in which each student                will present the interpreted results and conclusions and help                   develop the hypotheses and research designs for the on-going                    projects.
