9418153 This award supports a program aimed at providing research experiences to a broad range of undergraduate students. The program sill allow for active participation by undergraduate students in ongoing marine geologic research in Antarctica. Students will be recruited from institutions across the United States and will participate in a preparatory seminar on Antarctic science prior to the field season. This program will integrate undergraduate participation with existing marine geology and geophysics projects aboard either of the two United States Antarctic Program research vessels, the RV Polar Duke and the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer. Research topics will be related to the stratigraphy and/or evolution of the Antarctic continental margin, topics of increasing importance to both Antarctic and global geology. Students will have a full year following their field experience to conduct follow-up research via a senior thesis. This program is intended to provide better educational experiences to promising undergraduate students and to stimulate those students to pursue advanced degrees in geology and geophysics. ***

9418153该奖项支持旨在为广泛的本科生提供研究经验的计划。 该计划将允许本科生积极参与正在进行的南极洲海洋地质研究。 学生将从美国各地的机构招募，并将在实地考察季节之前参加关于南极科学的预备研讨会。 该计划将整合现有的海洋地质学和海洋物理学项目上的两个美国南极计划研究船，RV极地杜克和RVI B纳撒尼尔B的本科生参与。帕尔默 研究课题将涉及南极大陆边的地层学和（或）演变，这些课题对南极和全球地质学都越来越重要。 学生将有一整年的实地经验，通过高级论文进行后续研究。 该计划旨在为有前途的本科生提供更好的教育经验，并鼓励这些学生攻读地质学和地球物理学的高级学位。 ***
