Christina River Basin Critical Zone Observatory Research Experience for Undergraduates and Teachers

National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)  and Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs aim to actively involve K-12 science educators and undergraduate students in meaningful, ongoing research projects. From 2014–2016, the Christina River Basin Critical Zone Observatory (Stroud Water Research Center/University of Delaware) and the Susquehanna Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory (The Pennsylvania State University) hosted REU/RET programs.
