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

一艘浮桥驳船被用于实地和实验室为基础的教学和地质学本科生研究的综合计划中的振动测深和其他浅水取样。它用于地质学入门、海洋学入门和环境科学入门级课程；在沉积学与地层学、无脊椎古生物学、冰川与第四纪地质学、水文地质学、环境地质学、热带碳酸盐地质学等高级课程中学习；每年约有两个本科生研究项目；以及劳伦斯夏季科学项目，这是一个针对高三学生的为期两周的强化项目。目前，大多数已经纳入课程的实践活动也是本科生独立研究的主题。该项目是实地和实验室教学与本科研究相结合的一个例子，专注于当地第四纪地质学的研究，并使用相对便宜和通用的设备来实施。＊＊＊

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. ***
