This REU site will provide research opportunities for undergraduates in an environment where traditional geologic and geophysical research techniques are fully integrated with advanced data collection and management. Field data collection will utilize global positioning system (GPS) technology and be uploaded into geographic information systems (GIS) for spatial analysis and the generation of derivative products. Fish Lake Plateau forms a remarkable location in which to study volcanic, tectonic, and surficial processes and the interaction of those processes from the mid-Tertiary to the present. The REU program will include five phases: 1) site introduction, GIS, and geophysical training at William & Mary; 2) field collection and data integration at Fish Lake; 3) post-field compilation and metadata production at William & Mary; 4) continued research at their home institution; and 5) project finalization and presentation at Coastal Carolina University. The science research will integrate geological and geophysical field data into a GIS in a meaningful way that will provide answers concerning the interplay and timing of volcanic, tectonic, and surficial processes on the Fish Lake Plateau and more regionally, in the transition zone between the Colorado Plateau and Basin & Range. Over the 7-week summer program, participants will live and work together at William & Mary, both before and after a 4-week field campaign at Fish Lake. Participants will develop specific research questions and a research plan in coordination with the project directors. The project directors, a graduate assistant, and two consulting scientists will work with the student participants in a both a mentoring and collaborative fashion. After the summer program, students will work from their home institution on their research topics. In January, student participants will come together at Coastal Carolina University for oral presentations, discussion, and ideas about future research directions for the REU site. Many of the students will present their results at professional meetings.

该 REU 站点将为本科生提供在传统地质和地球物理研究技术与先进数据收集和管理完全集成的环境中的研究机会。 现场数据收集将利用全球定位系统（GPS）技术并上传到地理信息系统（GIS）进行空间分析和衍生产品的生成。鱼湖高原是研究第三纪中期至今火山、构造和地表过程以及这些过程相互作用的绝佳场所。 REU 计划将包括五个阶段：1）在 William & Mary 进行现场介绍、GIS 和地球物理培训； 2）鱼湖现场采集和数据整合； 3) William & Mary 的后期现场编译和元数据制作； 4）在其所在机构继续研究； 5) 在卡罗莱纳海岸大学完成项目并进行演示。 这项科学研究将以有意义的方式将地质和地球物理现场数据整合到地理信息系统中，从而提供有关菲什湖高原以及科罗拉多高原和盆地和山脉之间过渡带的火山、构造和地表过程的相互作用和时间的答案。 在为期 7 周的夏季项目中，参与者将在 Fish Lake 为期 4 周的实地活动之前和之后在 William & Mary 一起生活和工作。 参与者将与项目负责人协调制定具体的研究问题和研究计划。项目主管、一名研究生助理和两名咨询科学家将以指导和协作的方式与学生参与者合作。 暑期课程结束后，学生将在其所在机构研究他们的研究课题。 一月份，学生参与者将齐聚卡罗莱纳海岸大学，进行口头演讲、讨论，并就 REU 站点的未来研究方向提出想法。 许多学生将在专业会议上展示他们的成果。
