LEC Education
Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program

The summer Research Experience for Undergraduates Program (REU) funded 10 undergraduate students from throughout the U.S.A. to work under real conditions on environmental problems with scientists at the LEC. REU students participated in an interdisciplinary research project, with the focus being environmental protection of the Maumee River watershed that flows through Toledo into Lake Erie. Students worked with professors with expertise in a wide range of disciplines including Geography, Planning, Earth Science, Biology, Geology, Remote Sensing, and Environmental Law. Students were exposed to both field and lab work during the REU program.
