REU SITE: Research Experience for Undergraduates: Analyzing Global Databases

该奖项为哥伦比亚大学Lamont Doherty地球观测站（LDEO）的本科生研究经验（REU）项目提供了新的资助。LDEO位于纽约州帕利塞德斯。该项目将在为期10周的暑期研究项目中每年支持10名学生。由于Lamont-Doherty拥有100多名博士级别的科学家，因此知识焦点非常广泛，学生可以选择广泛的导师。实习生们整个夏天都在进行研究，其间穿插着半周的专题讲座，主题包括科学写作、科学职业、伦理，以及研究实践，如计算硬件/软件资源，以及查看/分析科学数据的方法。该项目以学生撰写的研究海报展示结束，包括书面摘要和期末论文。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。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) at Columbia University. LDEO is located in Palisades, NY. The program will support ten students/year during a ten week summer research program. The intellectual focus is very broad as Lamont-Doherty has over 100 PhD level scientists, and the students have a wide range of mentors whom they can choose. Interns pursue a summer of research, interspersed with special semi-weekly lectures on topics like scientific writing, science careers, ethics, as well as research practicalities such as computing hardware/software resources, and methods for viewing/analyzing scientific data. The program ends with student-authored research poster presentations, including written abstracts and a final paper. 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.
