Research Esperiences for Undergraduates on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska

10名本科生将被选为阿拉斯加朱诺冰原研究项目的参与者。40年来，地球科学研究一直在这片冰原上进行，重点是地质学、冰川学、地球物理学、冰川气象学、地球植物学和测量学。在爱达荷大学冰川和北极环境科学研究所和冰川与环境研究基金会的合作下，这项研究/教育活动旨在对北美最大的冰原之一进行全面的系统研究。在来自爱达荷大学和其他大学的具有独特经验的教授的指导下，每个本科生将选择一个研究项目，并鼓励他们在发展过程中尽可能多地发挥独立判断和主动性。被选中的本科生将是地球科学专业的学生，他们表现出学术能力、动机和研究潜力。由于研究经验将涉及在崎岖的冰川地形上的实地工作，体能将是必要的。工作人员将在整个赛季提供建议和帮助，包括讲座、研讨会和现场具体指导，以确保有效的研究体验。

Ten undergraduates will be selected to participate in research projects on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska. For 40 years, research in the earth sciences, emphasizing geology, glaciology, geophysics, glaciometeorology, geobotany and surveying, has been conducted on this icefield. With cooperation between the University of Idaho's Glaciological and Arctic Environmental Sciences Institute and the Foundation for Glacier and Environ- mental Research, this research/educational activity aims at a total systems study of one of North America's largest icefields. Under supervision of professors of unique experience, drawn from the University of Idaho and other universities, each undergraduate will select a research project and be encouraged to exercise as much independent judgment and initiative as possible in its development. Undergraduates selected will be earth science students who demonstrate scholarly aptitude, motivation, and research potential. Because the research experience will involve field work in rugged glacier terrain, physical stamina will be necessary. The staff will be available throughout the season for advice and help, including lectures, seminars and site specific instructions in methodologies to insure an effective research experience.
