DEVELOPING COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH TO TAKE FRESHWATER SCIENCE EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM: THE STORY OF NORTHEAST GLEON
A critical component of undergraduate education is participation in research. Research experiences for undergraduates are often short-term, and may not foster peer collaborations. However, participation in collaborative team science is an essential component of aquatic sciences. The Global Lakes Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) is an international grassroots collaborative network of scientists. GLEON meetings are structured to foster the sharing of new ideas and generation of collaborative research. We aimed to create a similar experience for undergraduates, creating a space where their research questions and ideas could be implemented into actionable research. For the last three years, we have used an annual undergraduate-focused conference (Northeast GLEON) to foster inclusion of undergraduate students in regional team science. As a team of faculty primarily at undergraduate-focused institutions, we bring together students to generate research ideas. Additionally, students learn skills through intensive workshops (R, modeling), participate in career path discussions, and share their research results. Many of these students return to their home institutions to participate in common experiments and develop manuscripts. We see the potential for this model to expand, providing opportunities for undergraduate students to actively participate in aquatic science research.
