A Model for a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) in a Field Setting

Engaging interested students in field-based research experiences is imperative for cultivating interest in field science and preparing students for a career in field-based science. Here we provide a framework for completing meaningful, authentic course-based research in a five-week field course. Stu...
