Collaborative REU Site Proposal: 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）将在格鲁吉亚州立大学开展本科生研究经验（REU）项目。 拟议的REU计划的目的是扩大参与地球科学研究的机会，从东南地区的本科生和中学科学教师。 REU计划的参与者将与ACRES教师一起在区域地质学的选定研究问题上进行团队合作。 项目包括：1）格鲁吉亚沿海平原烟草路砂岩（始新世）的桑德斯维尔灰岩段的古生物学、岩石学、沉积环境和早期成岩作用2）格鲁吉亚和南卡罗来纳州海岸已开发和未开发边缘海洋系统的地球化学、沉积学和微体古生物学的比较研究3）平岩公园片麻岩、莫特片麻岩、和其他花岗质片麻岩在Uchee带和4）来自Uchee带的流体包裹体：理论和实验评价的爆裂行为和显微测温确定的压力-温度条件在变质作用。

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.
