Shipboard and Laboratory Training in Marine Geology

该项目提升了现代海洋地质学实验和理论方面的本科教学。受影响的课程从入门级到高级不等，涉及海底形态和海底下层结构的地震和磁力调查，以及水柱和海底的地球化学取样。收集的数据和样本在实验室用计算机进行处理和解释。学生们根据航行期间收集的数据集编写报告。一些数据集也用于相关课程，如地球物理学或地球化学。这些经验将使学生更好地为工业就业或研究生学习做好准备，从而为涉及海洋地质学的职业生涯做好准备。大学将提供与奖金相等的金额。

This project upgrades undergraduate instruction in experimental and theoretical aspects of modern marine geology. The courses affected range from introductory to advanced levels, and involve seismic and magnetic investigation of seafloor morphology and subbottom structure, and geochemical sampling of the water column and seafloor. Data and samples collected are processed and interpreted using computers in the laboratory. Students write reports from the data sets collected during cruises. Some of the data sets are utilized also in related courses such as geophysics or geochemistry. These experiences will better prepare students for industrial employment or for graduate study leading to professional careers involving marine geology. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
