This site is co-funded through a partnership of the Department of Defense and the NSF REU program.SAGE (Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience) blends teaching and research into a partnership between universities, industry, and federal laboratories. The summer portion of SAGE is 4 weeks long for REU; an additional week is scheduled in early January for follow-up and advanced research. SAGE faculty come from seven universities and a national laboratory.The primary goal of the REU portion of SAGE is to actively involve undergraduate students in all phases of exciting, applied geophysical research using the newest field equipment and latest computer processing/interpretation tools. The SAGE REU site has 15 REU students of the 25-30 students (including graduate students) that attend SAGE each year. A target to have one-half underrepresented REU students at SAGE has been achieved.Students at SAGE participate in every phase of a geophysical research program: they collect data with modern equipment; they process, model, and interpret the data with workstations and PC's; and they present their results in both oral and written form. First the students are introduced to fundamental scientific principles involved when applying geophysics to geologic problems. Then there are interactive discussions on what the objectives of the field research are, what geophysical techniques will be used and why, and how the data will be collected.The central activity of SAGE is the hands-on collection and interpretation of field research data. Students work with faculty, teaching assistants, and industry experts in a variety of geophysical surveys such as seismic reflection, seismic refraction, gravity, magnetics and electromagnetics including manetotellurics. Industry contributions include visits from professionals, evening discussions, financial donations, and free equipment use and software loans. This allows a high level of technical expertise not available at most college campuses.

该网站由国防部和 NSF REU 计划共同资助。SAGE（应用地球物理经验夏季）将教学和研究融入大学、工业界和联邦实验室之间的合作伙伴关系中。 REU 的 SAGE 夏季部分为期 4 周；一月初还安排了一周的后续和高级研究。 SAGE 教员来自七所大学和一个国家实验室。SAGE REU 部分的主要目标是利用最新的现场设备和最新的计算机处理/解释工具，积极让本科生参与激动人心的应用地球物理研究的各个阶段。 每年参加 SAGE 的 25-30 名学生（包括研究生）中，SAGE REU 站点有 15 名 REU 学生。 SAGE 的 REU 学生人数不足一半的目标已经实现。SAGE 的学生参与地球物理研究项目的每个阶段：他们使用现代设备收集数据；他们使用工作站和 PC 处理、建模和解释数据；他们以口头和书面形式展示他们的结果。 首先，向学生介绍将地球物理学应用于地质问题时涉及的基本科学原理。 然后就实地研究的目标是什么、将使用什么地球物理技术、为什么以及如何收集数据进行互动讨论。SAGE 的核心活动是实地研究数据的实际收集和解释。 学生与教师、助教和行业专家一起进行各种地球物理调查，如地震反射、地震折射、重力、磁学和电磁学，包括大地电磁学。 行业贡献包括专业人士访问、晚间讨论、财务捐赠以及免费设备使用和软件贷款。 这使得我们能够获得大多数大学校园所不具备的高水平技术专业知识。
