REU Site: Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience (SAGE)

SAGE（暑期应用地球物理体验）允许本科生参与动手研究规模的地球物理勘探。学生们首先在新墨西哥州的里约热内卢格兰德裂谷完成为期四周的SAGE实地部分。在这里，他们利用地震反射和折射、重力、磁力、电阻率、电磁学和大地电磁学进行研究。他们参与实地研究的每一个阶段，从数据的收集和处理到数据的解释，最后以口头和书面报告结束。在实地部分之后，学生们回到他们的校园，在那里提供必要的监督，继续进行研究。这将由SAGE的一名教职员工密切监控，并通过访问SAGE教职员工的校园和参加科学会议来加强。SAGE由洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室和5所提供教师和地球物理设备的学校赞助。其他设备由工业界提供，例如ARCO和Kennecott等在1992年协助SAGE。该提案寻求支持13名本科生参加未来三年的SAGE研究计划。任何学校都接受学生。招募代表性不足的学生的策略成功地将四名女性，一名西班牙裔和一名纳瓦霍人作为13名REU学生的一部分带到SAGE 1992。

SAGE (Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience) has permitted undergraduate students to take part in hands-on, research scale geophysical exploration. Students first complete the four-week field segment of SAGE in the Rio Grande rift of New Mexico. Here they do research using seismic reflection and refraction, gravity, magnetism, electrical resistivity, electromagnetics, and magnetotellurics. They are involved in every phase of the field research from the collection and processing of the data to its interpretation culminating with both an oral and written report. After the field segment the students return to their campuses where the research continues provided the required supervision exists. This is closely monitored by a SAGE faculty member and is augmented by a visit to a SAGE faculty's campus and attendance at a scientific meeting. SAGE is sponsored by Los Alamos National Laboratory and 5 schools who furnish faculty and geophysical equipment. Additional equipment is provided by industry, e.g., ARCO and Kennecott, among others, assisted SAGE in 1992. This proposal seeks support for 13 undergraduate students to attend the SAGE research program for each of the next three years. Students are accepted from any school. Strategies to recruit underrepresented students successfully brought four women, one Hispanic, and one Navajo to SAGE 1992 as part of the 13 REU students.
