9322471 Christensen Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site grant support is requested for 8 students in Solid Earth Geophysics for each of the next three years at the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks. The program will give undergraduates majoring in geology, geophysics, physics, and closely related disciplines, experience working in a research environment. The program objective is to acquaint undergraduates with exciting research opportunities in the various fields of geophysics concentrating on seismology, volcanology, geochronology, geochemistry, paleomagnetics and tectonics and encouraging the undergraduates to go on to graduate school in these or other scientific fields. Women and minorities will be particularly encouraged to apply. Many of the students will be recruited from small liberal arts colleges throughout the Nation, and programs like this are likely to be their only opportunity for in depth exposure to the fields of solid earth sciences before they must make decisions regarding graduate school. In their contacts with graduate students and by attending seminars and thesis defenses, the students will obtain an accurate perspective of graduate student life. In this program, students are assigned to work with individual faculty investigators on projects assigned by the investigators. In addition there will be an organized series of weekly lectures and field trips to expose students to other fields of research beyond the scope of their own project.

小行星9322471 在接下来的三年里，阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯地球物理研究所每年需要为8名固体地球物理学学生提供本科生研究经验（REU）现场资助支持。 该计划将给予地质学，物理学，物理学和密切相关的学科专业的本科生，在研究环境中工作的经验。 该计划的目标是让本科生熟悉地球物理学各个领域的令人兴奋的研究机会，集中在地震学，火山学，地质年代学，地球化学，古地磁学和构造学，并鼓励本科生继续在这些或其他科学领域的研究生院。 特别鼓励妇女和少数民族申请。 许多学生将从全国各地的小型文理学院招募，像这样的项目可能是他们在必须做出关于研究生院的决定之前深入接触固体地球科学领域的唯一机会。 在与研究生的接触中，通过参加研讨会和论文答辩，学生将获得研究生生活的准确视角。 在这个程序中，学生被分配到由调查人员分配的项目与个别教师调查工作。 此外，还将有一系列有组织的每周讲座和实地考察，让学生接触到超出自己项目范围的其他研究领域。
