An Integrated Program of Field - and Laboratory - Based Instruction and Undergraduate Research Based on Vibracoring and other Shallow-Water Sampling

9351962史密斯一艘浮筒驳船用于振动和其他浅水取样，这是一个基于现场和实验室的教学和本科生地质学研究的综合计划。它被用于入门地质学、入门海洋学和环境科学的入门课程；在沉积学和地层学、无脊椎动物古生物学、冰川和第四纪地质学、水文地质学、环境地质学研讨会和热带碳酸盐地质研讨会的高级课程中使用；每年大约两个本科生研究项目；以及劳伦斯夏季科学计划，这是一个针对高三学生的为期两周的强化课程。目前，大部分已纳入课程的动手活动也是独立本科生研究的主题。该项目是一个例子，说明了如何将以实地和实验室为基础的教学和本科生研究结合起来，重点放在当地第四纪地质学的研究上，并使用相对便宜和通用的设备进行实施。***

9351962 Smith A pontoon barge is used for vibracoring and other shallow-water sampling in an integrated program of field- and laboratory- based instruction and undergraduate research in geology. It is used in the introductory-level courses of Introductory Geology, Introductory Oceanography, and Environmental Science; in the upper level courses of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, Invertebrate Paleontology, Glacial and Quaternary Geology, Hydrogeology, Seminar in Environmental Geology, and Seminar on Tropical Carbonate Geology; for approximately two undergraduate research projects each year; and for the Lawrence Summerscience Program, a two-week intensive program for high-school juniors. Currently, most of the hands-on activities already incorporated into courses are also the subjects of independent undergraduate research. The program is an example of how field and laboratory-based instruction and undergraduate research can be integrated, focused on the study of local Quaternary geology, and implemented using relatively inexpensive and versatile equipment. ***
