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体验(REU)计划。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项目的参与者将在选定的研究问题上与Acres的教职员工合作。格鲁吉亚的区域地质既有趣又多样。研究项目将与参与者生活的风景联系起来。参与者在学习进行研究的同时，还将通过阅读、讨论和个人反思来了解科学调查过程的性质。学员与教职员工的比例将约为1.4：1，以确保广泛的个人关注。Acres的教职员工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，这两所大学都是历史上的黑人大学；佐治亚州周长学院，一所两年制的本科院校；以及哥伦布州立大学，一所四年制的综合性大学。

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.
