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.

该奖项支持本科生的研究经验，作为一项北极季学研究。 该计划将由几个阶段组成，旨在最大程度地提高本科机构与专门从事极地地区第四纪地质的人员之间的合作。 在学年中，将在参与的机构中教授相关课程，该课程将向学生介绍第四纪地球科学的各个方面。 该计划的顶峰将是一个现场课程，将在加拿大东南巴芬岛举行。 该课程将包括教室的入门讲座和密集的田野成分，其中学生将在气候学，冰川学，冰河影响沉积过程和第四纪地质学上进行“动手”研究。
