Undergraduate Student Work
Education is an important aspect of the Plum Island Ecosystems LTER.  This section of the dataset includes work from undergraduate students working in Plum Island through the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, the Semester in Environmental Science, or the Woods Hole Marine Science Consortium program.
Many student papers are published in the Marine Biological Laboratory's Biological Bulletin
