Site grant support is requested for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program for the next three years at the Geophyical Institute. This program will give research opportunities to undergraduates majoring in physics and closely related disciplines. The program objective is to acquaint undergraduates with life and wwork at a research institute. This is done by providing summer educational work in which undergraduates become interns participating in the research activities of the Geophysical Institute. Research topics available in this program concentrate on space physics, aeronomy and global change (atmospheric science), but also include, ice and solid Earth topics within the Geophysical Institute, and solid state physics and laser physics at the Physics Department. The aim is to encourage \the undergraduates to continue their education in graduate school and become research scientists. In this program, the interns are assigned to conduct research with principal investigators who direct their work and serve as mentors through their internship. There is a common program of weekly lectures and field trips designed to expose interns to fields of research beyond the scope of their own projects. Through their close relationship with their mentors, contacts with graduate students, attending seminars, lectures and thesis defenses, and participating in field trips, the interns gain a first hand perspective on life and work as a research scientist.

现场赠款支持要求为本科生（REU）计划的研究经验，为未来三年在地球物理研究所。 该计划将为物理学和密切相关学科的本科生提供研究机会。 该计划的目标是让大学生熟悉生活和工作在一个研究所。 这是通过提供暑期教育工作来实现的，在暑期教育工作中，本科生成为实习生，参加地球物理研究所的研究活动。 该计划提供的研究课题集中在空间物理学，高层大气学和全球变化（大气科学），但也包括地球物理研究所内的冰和固体地球主题，以及物理系的固态物理和激光物理。 其目的是鼓励本科生在研究生院继续接受教育，成为研究科学家。 在这个项目中，实习生被分配与主要研究人员一起进行研究，他们指导他们的工作，并通过实习担任导师。 有一个每周讲座和实地考察的共同计划，旨在让实习生接触超出他们自己项目范围的研究领域。 通过与导师的密切关系，与研究生的接触，参加研讨会，讲座和论文答辩，并参加实地考察，实习生获得了作为研究科学家的生活和工作的第一手资料。
