Research Experiences for Undergraduates on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska

10名本科生将被选中参加在阿拉斯加朱诺冰原的研究项目。40年来，人们对这片冰原进行了地质学、冰川学、地球物理学、冰川气象学、地球植物学和测量学等方面的研究。在爱达荷大学冰川学和北极环境科学研究所与冰川和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。这是一个全面参与的项目，代表着一周七天沉浸在正在进行的和新的研究项目中。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，每位本科生将选择一个研究项目，并鼓励他们在项目发展中尽可能多地进行独立判断和主动。选择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。工作人员将在整个季节提供建议和帮助，包括讲座、研讨会和具体地点的方法指导，以确保有效的研究经验。

Ten undergraduates will be selected to participate in research projects on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska. For 40 years, research, 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 Environmental Research, this research/educational activity aims at a total systems study of one of North America's largest icefields. It is a total involvement program, representing a seven days a week immersion in on-going and new research projects. 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. 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.
