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)将在佐治亚州立大学开展本科生研究体验(REU)现场项目。拟议的REU计划的目的是将参与地球科学研究的机会扩大到来自东南部地区的本科生和中学科学教师。REU计划的参与者将与Acres的教职员工在选定的区域地质学研究问题上合作。项目包括：1)佐治亚州海岸平原烟草路砂岩(始新世)中桑德斯维尔石灰岩的古生物、岩石学、沉积环境和早期成岩作用；2)佐治亚州和南卡罗来纳州海岸发达和不发达的边缘海洋系统的地球化学、沉积学和微古生物学比较研究3)乌奇带平岩公园片麻岩、莫茨片麻岩和其他花岗质片麻岩的比较地球化学；4)乌契带流体包裹体：变质作用中压温条件的理论和实验评价。

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.
