REU Site - Undergraduate Research Experiences in High Pressure Geophysics

该计划将继续实施一个成熟而成功的暑期项目，为本科生提供机会，让他们参与到一流科学实验室工作的兴奋中来。该计划的目标是招收来自物理科学的学生，希望他们能够受到激励，达到在地球科学领域从事研究事业的地步。强调招募任职人数不足的少数群体和妇女。该专业的学生将与矿物物理研究所(MPI)的教职员工一起开展项目，探索材料的物理和化学性质，特别强调高压的使用。学生们将与MPI的成员密切合作，在每周的研讨会上追求自己的项目并讨论他们的进展。在该计划期间，学生将有机会参观其他实验室和附属于MPI的机构。

The proposal is to continue a well-established and successful Summer program that provides undergraduates the opportunity to participate in the excitement of working in a premier science laboratory. The goal of the program is to recruit students from the physical sciences with the hope they will be stimulated to the point of pursuing a research career in the Earth Sciences. Recruitment of underrepresented minorities and women is emphasized. Students in this program will work with faculty members of the Mineral Physics Institute (MPI) on projects that probe the physical and chemical properties of materials with a particular emphasis on the use of high pressure. Working closely with members of the MPI, students will pursue their own projects and discuss their progress during weekly seminar sessions. During the program, students will have the opportunity to visit other laboratories and institutions affiliated with the MPI.
