ATM 0851175This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The project will enable ten undergraduate students per year to participate in scientific research for three months per year at the University of Michigan in the Space Physics Research Laboratory through a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program. The Space Physics Research Laboratory is a broad interdisciplinary research organization that is part of the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences within the College of Engineering at the university. The Department has 46 faculty members, including 26 research faculty. The goal of the lab's REU program is to attract, motivate and train undergraduates in the geosciences, specifically within three areas of interest to the Atmospheric Sciences Division of NSF, namely, Magnetospheric Physics, Aeronomy, and Atmospheric Chemistry. The students will be exposed to projects in a variety of areas such as Airglow and Atmospheric Science, Space Plasma Physics, Ionospheres and Magnetospheres, Air Pollution Transport, Planetary Atmospheres, and Lidars. Activities will include hands-on experience working with instrumentation that has flown or will fly in space, conducting in situ or remote sensing measurements of the atmosphere, fabricating and calibrating state-of-the-art instruments and devices, and using and/or developing software packages to analyze the measurements and manipulate large data bases. Additional activities for the participants include attending weekly seminars, preparing a written report of their research, and orally presenting their findings to the other students and interested faculty and staff. Students will interact with their research advisors, who also serve as mentors, as well as other participants in the program and with graduate students, faculty members, and research staff at the Space Physics Lab. Some of the projects will result in journal publications or presentations at scientific meetings. Special efforts are being made to recruit women and underrepresented groups to the program. The goal is to engender interest and research experience in the atmospheric and space sciences in students who might pursue these areas as a career.

ATM 0851175该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该项目将使每年10名本科生通过本科生研究经验（REU）现场计划在密歇根大学空间物理研究实验室参加为期三个月的科学研究。 空间物理研究实验室是一个广泛的跨学科研究组织，是该大学工程学院大气、海洋和空间科学系的一部分。 该部门有46名教师，其中包括26名研究人员。 该实验室的REU计划的目标是吸引，激励和培训地球科学的本科生，特别是在NSF大气科学部感兴趣的三个领域，即磁层物理学，高层大气物理学和大气化学。 学生将接触到各种领域的项目，如气辉和大气科学，空间等离子体物理，电离层和磁层，空气污染传输，行星大气和激光雷达。 活动将包括与已经或将要在太空飞行的仪器一起工作的实践经验，对大气进行现场或遥感测量，制造和校准最先进的仪器和设备，以及使用和/或开发软件包来分析测量和操作大型数据库。 参与者的其他活动包括参加每周的研讨会，准备他们的研究的书面报告，并口头介绍他们的研究结果给其他学生和感兴趣的教职员工。 学生将与他们的研究顾问，谁也作为导师，以及在该计划的其他参与者，并与研究生，教师和研究人员在空间物理实验室互动。 其中一些项目将在期刊上发表或在科学会议上发表。 正在作出特别努力，招募妇女和代表性不足的群体参加该方案。 其目标是在可能以这些领域为职业的学生中产生对大气和空间科学的兴趣和研究经验。
