REU Site: Collaborative Research: Earth and Planetary Science and Astrophysics REU at the American Museum of Natural History in Collaboration with the City University of New York

查尔斯·刘博士(纽约市立大学史坦顿分校)和詹姆斯·韦伯斯特博士(美国自然历史博物馆)将继续在美国自然历史博物馆设立本科生研究体验(REU)网站。该网站将为本科生提供在地球科学、行星科学和天体物理学方面进行实验、观测、理论和计算研究活动的机会。除了主要的研究活动外，学生们还将参加博物馆项目；参加实地考察和科学座谈会，并酌情参加会议以展示研究；在夏季体验结束时，以书面科学论文和15分钟的口头陈述两种形式在向公众开放的多学科科学研讨会上报告他们的工作。主要调查人员将特别努力将纽约州立大学的学生纳入这个REU网站，以努力吸引目前在科学界服务不足和代表性不足的人群的学生。

Drs. Charles Liu (City University of New York (CUNY) - Staten Island) and James Webster (American Museum of Natural History) will continue a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the American Museum of Natural History. The Site will provide opportunities for undergraduates to conduct experimental, observational, theoretical, and computational research activity in earth science, planetary science, and astrophysics. Aside from their primary research activities, students will also participate in Museum programs; attend field trips and scientific colloquia and, as appropriate, conferences to present research; and report on their work at the end of their summer experience, in both a written scientific paper and a 15-minute oral presentation in a multidisciplinary scientific symposium open to the general public.The principal investigators will focus particular effort on the inclusion of CUNY students as participants in this REU site in an effort to attract students from populations which are currently underserved and underrepresented in the sciences.
