REU--COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Atlanta Consortium for Research in the Earth Sciences (ACRES): Research Experiences for Undergraduates and Science Teachers

亚特兰大地球科学研究联盟（ACRES）将在佐治亚州立大学开展本科生研究经验（REU）项目。REU计划的目的是扩大参与亚特兰大地区地球科学研究的机会。REU项目的参与者将与ACRES的教师就选定的研究问题进行合作。乔治亚州的地区地质既有趣又多样。研究项目将与参与者居住的景观联系起来。当参与者学习如何进行研究时，他们也将通过阅读、讨论和个人反思来学习科学调查过程的本质。参与者与教师的比例约为1.4:1，确保广泛的个人关注。ACRES的教师来自不同的学术机构：佐治亚州立大学；克拉克亚特兰大大学和福特谷州立大学都是历史上的黑人大学；乔治亚周边学院是两年制本科院校；以及四年制综合性大学哥伦布州立大学。

The purpose of the REU program is to extend opportunities to participate in geoscience research in the Atlanta area. REU program participants will work with ACRES faculty on selected research problems. The regional geology of Georgia is both interesting and diverse. Research projects will connect to the landscape in which the participants live. While participants are learning to conduct research they will also be learning about the nature of the process of scientific investigation through readings, discussions and personal reflections. The participant to faculty ratio will be approximately 1.4:1 ensuring extensive personal attention. ACRES faculty come from a diversity of academic institutions: Georgia State University; Clark Atlanta University and Fort Valley State University both historically black colleges; Georgia Perimeter College a two year undergraduate institution; and Columbus State University, a four year comprehensive institution.
