REU SITE: Research Experience for Undergraduates: Analyzing Global Databases

该奖项为哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球天文台(LDEO)的本科生研究体验(REU)项目提供了新的资金。LDEO位于纽约州帕利塞德斯。该计划将在为期10周的暑期研究计划期间每年支持10名学生。拉蒙特-多尔蒂拥有100多名博士级别的科学家，学生们有各种各样的导师可供选择，因此他们的学术重点非常广泛。实习生要进行一个暑期的研究，其间穿插着专门的半周讲座，主题包括科学写作、科学职业、伦理学，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。该计划以学生撰写的研究海报演示文稿结束，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，但学生可以访问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，并参加暑期研究计划后的全国会议。

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.
