REU: Undergraduate Research Participation Site at the Space Physics Research Laboratory, University of Michigan

这是一个REU网站的奖项。通过竞争，10到12名本科生将在密歇根大学空间物理研究实验室度过三个夏季月，在那里，每个人与大约30名教职员工中的一名一起研究气辉和大气科学，空间等离子体物理，彗星研究，行星大气，空气污染运输和激光雷达。在这项研究中，学生有机会与他们的导师、项目中的其他本科生、大学的研究生和其他教职员工进行互动。他们能够亲身体验已经或将在太空飞行的仪器，正在对大气进行遥感测量，并制造和校准这些最先进系统的组件。他们还能够选择构建和使用软件包来解决解析表达式，以图像形式呈现空间飞行数据，并操作大型数据库。他们的一部分经验包括参加每周一次的由SPRL教职员工举办的研讨会，为他们的导师写一份报告（可能会出版），并向学生和教职员工口头展示他们的报告。

This is an award for a REU Site. Ten to twelve undergraduate students are competitively selected to spend three summer months at the Space Physics Research Laboratory, University of Michigan, where each works with one of the about 30 faculty members doing research in Airglow and Atmospheric Science Space Plasma Physics, Cometary Studies, Planetary Atmospheres, Air Pollution Transport, and Lidars. In this research the students have opportunities to interact with their mentors, other undergraduate students in the program, graduate students at the university and other faculty members. They are able to have hands on experience working with instrumentation which has or will fly in space, is making remote sensing measurements of the atmosphere, and fabricate and calibrate components of these state of the art systems. They are also able to choose to construct and work with software packages which solve analytical expressions, present space flight data in image forms, and manipulate large data bases. A portion of their experience involves attending weekly seminars given by the SPRL faculty staff, writing up their work in a report for their mentor (which may be publishable), and presenting their report orally to the students and staff.
