NOAA-CREST research group celebrated an activity to promote the participation of new undergraduate and graduate students in this multidisciplinary project. The NOAA-CREST Day took place in UPRM-Stefanni Building during April 23 of 2009. As part of the agenda different professors and students presented their current research activities and talked about their experience as CREST participant. One of those was Vilmaliz Rodriguez, whom presented her research in Mayaguez Bay and motivated other students to joint our group. Natlee Hernandez also participated for the first time, but she did not presented. This activity is celebrated every year in all NOAA-CREST institutions (including UPRM) and it aims to motivated students in getting involved with research areas of large interests for NOAA. In case of the GERS Lab, we would like to bring new students for working with remote sensing and biogeo-optical properties of coastal areas.
