REU SITE: Analyzing Global Databases

该奖项为哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球观测站（LDEO）的本科生研究经验（REU）项目提供了新的资助。该项目将支持10名学生进行为期10周的暑期研究项目。该计划将包括学生的独立研究项目，并参加半周的暑期系列讲座，主题包括科学写作、科学职业、伦理和数据可视化。这个项目不是一个基于实地的项目，但学生可以使用全球数据库和优秀的计算机设备。学生将被鼓励在同行评议的期刊上发表文章，并参加夏季研究项目后的国家会议。会议将以书面报告和学生海报展示结束。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO). The program will support ten students during a ten week summer research program. The program will include independent research projects by the students and participation in a semi-weekly summer lecture series on topics like scientific writing, science careers, ethics and data visualization. This program is not a field-based program, but students have access to global databases and excellent computer equipment. Students will be encouraged to publish in peer-reviewed journals and participate in national conferences following the summer research program. It will conclude with a written report and student poster presentations.
