RCMS: Research Careers for Minority Scholars in Earth System Science

小行星9550715 克拉克亚特兰大大学（CAU）将继续建立其全面的学术，研究和推广计划，在地球系统科学（EES）通过建立一个研究职业生涯为少数民族学者（RCMS）计划在ESS.地球系统科学是研究地球及其组成部分，其中包括大气，海洋区域，生物和水文循环，和地理特征，它们的相互作用和演变。 拟议的计划是一个现有的RCMS计划在地球科学的产物。ESS计划在CAU的总体目标是暴露大学的教师和学生的大部分地球，大气和海洋之间的相互作用的研究的跨学科性质，同时增加少数民族学生的数量追求研究生学位和职业在这个和相关领域。 该项目将支持以下活动：（1）设立16个本科生研究职位，第一年8个，第二年4个，第三年4个;（2）为大二前的ESS学生提供暑期研究经验;（3）学生前往国家实验室和会议。

9550715 Hawk Clark Atlanta University (CAU) will continue to build its comprehensive academic, research, and outreach program in Earth System Science (EES) through the establishment of a Research Careers for Minority Scholars (RCMS) Program in ESS. Earth System Science is the study of the earth and its component parts, which include the atmosphere, maritime regions, biological and hydrologic cycles, and geographic features, their interaction and evolution. The proposed program is an outgrowth of an existing RCMS program in Geosciences. The overall objective of the ESS program at CAU is to expose a large segment of the University's faculty and students to the interdisciplinary nature of the study of the interactions among the earth, its atmosphere and oceans while simultaneously increasing the number of minority students pursuing graduate degrees and careers in this and related areas. This project will support the following activities: (1) Establishment of sixteen undergraduate student research positions, eight in year one, four in year two, four in year three; (2) Summer research experiences for pre-sophomore ESS students; and (3) Student travel to national laboratories and conferences.
