A Field Study of Modern Physical Processes and Quaternary Geology of Baffin Island, Arctic Canada

该奖项支持本科生网站作为北极第四纪研究的研究经验。该项目将分为几个阶段，旨在最大限度地提高本科院校与极地地区第四纪地质学专业人员之间的合作。在学年期间，参与机构将教授有关课程，向学生介绍第四纪地球科学的各个方面。该计划的顶点将是一个实地课程，将在加拿大巴芬岛东南部举行。本课程将包括介绍性的课堂讲座和密集的实地考察部分，学生将进行气候学、冰川学、冰川影响的沉积过程和第四纪地质学的“实践”研究。

This award supports a Research Experience for Undergraduate site as an arctic Quaternary studies. The program will consist of several phases designed to maximize collaboration between undergraduate institutions with personnel who specialize in Quaternary geology in the Polar regions. During the academic years, relevant courses will be taught at the participating institutions which will introduce students to various aspects of Quaternary geosciences. The capstone of the program will be a field course, to be held in the southeastern Baffin Island, Canada. The course will consist of introductory classroom lectures and an intensive field component in which students will undertake "hands on" studies in climatology, glaciology, glacially influenced sedimentary processes, and Quaternary geology.
