Specifically, the REU site provides a unique international opportunity for students to be immersed in the practice of active inquiry and research in:<br \/>\n1.\tEcohydrology: feedback between forest vegetation and hydrology from the scale of an individual leaf to the entire stand<br \/>\n2.\tHydrology: movement and distribution of water through the forest from above-canopy precipitation and cloud immersion, to stream and groundwater flow<br \/>\n3.\tMeteorology and climatology: spatial and temporal variation in precipitation, evapotranspiration and boundary layer structure from the scale of an individual stand to the entire watershed<br \/>\n4.\tSoil Science:structure and geochemistry of forest soil<br \/>\n5.\tBiogeography: distribution and structure of forest vegetation at various scales in the watershed<br \/>\nSuccessful applicants will receive all expenses paid trip to Costa Rica in addition to a $500 a week stipend.
