Undergraduate Summer Research in Seismology - REU Site

地震学联合研究机构（IRIS）将为10名本科生提供研究经验，作为其9-11周实习计划的一部分。学生将有机会与地震学研究的领导者合作，前往异国他乡进行实地考察，并制作值得在大型专业会议上展示的研究产品。 这种方法将把成熟的电信技术和最近对远程学习的研究与传统的REU网站的精神结合起来。 由此产生的混合REU模型将为实习生创造新的机会，以更充分地发展和表达他们对研究过程的理解。 他们将在整个实习期间获得一致的专业发展，并通过技术与人联系，以创建和维护队列体验，同时受益于IRIS联盟的资源。 这一REU模式有机会为关于远程学习、社区建设和实施与元认知相关的技能的电信应用的知识体系的不断增长做出贡献。 这一模式的成功、记录和传播将使其他组织能够将地理上分散的资源用于开发其人力资本。

The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) will provide 10 undergraduate students with research experiences as part of its 9-11 week internship program. The students will have the opportunity to work with leaders in seismological research, to travel to exotic sites for fieldwork, and to produce research products worthy of presentation at large professional conferences. Intellectual Merit The approach will be to blend mature telecommunications technology and recent research on distance learning with the spirit of a traditional REU site. The resulting blended REU model will create novel opportunities for interns to more fully develop and express their understanding of the process of research. They will receive consistent professional development throughout the internship, and connect both in person and via technology to create and maintain a cohort experience while benefiting from the resources of the IRIS Consortium. This REU model has the opportunity to contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding the application of telecommunications for distance learning, community building and the implementation of the skills associated with metacognition. The success, documentation and dissemination of this model will enable other organizations to apply geographically distributed resources to the development of their human capital.
