The Atlanta Consortium for Research in the Earth Science (ACRES) will conduct a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at Georgia State University. The purpose of the proposed REU program is to extend opportunities to participate in geoscience research to undergraduate students and secondary school science teachers from the southeast region. REU program participants will work in teams with ACRES faculty on selected research problems in regional geology. Projects are: 1) The Paleontology, Petrology, Depositional Environments and Early Diagenesis of the Sandersville Limestone member of the Tobacco Road Sandstone (Eocene), Coastal Plain of Georgia 2) A Comparative Study of the Geochemistry, Sedimentology and Micropaleontology of Developed and Undeveloped Marginal Marine Systems on the Georgia and South Carolina Coasts 3) Comparative Geochemistry of Flat Rock Park Gneiss, Motts Gneiss, and Other Granitoidal Gneisses in the Uchee Belt and 4) Fluid Inclusions from the Uchee Belt: Theoretical and Experimental Evaluation of Decrepitation Behavior and Microthermometric Determination of Pressure-Temperature Conditions During Metamorphism.

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计划的目的是为东南地区的本科生和中学科学教师提供参与地球科学研究的机会。REU项目的参与者将与ACRES的教师一起在区域地质学的选定研究问题上进行团队合作。项目有:1)乔治亚州海岸平原烟草路砂岩（Eocene） Sandersville石灰岩的古生物学、岩石学、沉积环境和早期成岩作用2)乔治亚州和南卡罗莱纳海岸发达与不发达边缘海洋体系的地球化学、沉积学和微体古生物学比较3)平岩公园片麻岩、Motts片麻岩的地球化学比较(4)乌芝带流体包裹体：变质过程中压力-温度条件的理论与实验评价与显微测温
