The Keck Geology Consortium--Providing Collaborative and Yearlong Research Experiences for Undergraduates

凯克地质联盟将为51名本科生提供暑期研究经验，建立在23年成功的编程基础上。学生将从18所联盟学校招募，30%的参与者将来自非联盟机构。夏季研究项目将在下一学年继续作为独立的研究项目，最终在春季凯克年度研究研讨会。学生将在年度会议记录中发表简短的贡献，并鼓励他们在区域和国家学科会议上展示自己的工作。这些项目涉及实地和实验室研究经验，将在结构地质学、古生物学和古生态学、古气候学以及火成岩和变质岩石学、沉积学和地层学、火山学、地貌学和地质考古学等领域作出有意义的科学贡献。为期一年的凯克财团计划提高学生？科学和地球科学研究技能，并提供强大的科学经验。

The Keck Geology Consortium will offer summer research experiences for 51 undergraduates, building on 23 years of successful programming. Students will be recruited from the 18 consortium schools, and 30% of participants will be from non-Consortium institutions. Summer research projects will be continued in the following academic year as independent study projects, culminating at Keck Annual Research Symposium in the spring. Students will publish short contributions in the annual proceedings volume and will be encouraged to present their work at regional and national disciplinary meetings. The projects involve a mix of field and laboratory research experiences that will make meaningful scientific contributions in the areas of structural geology, paleontology and paleoecology, and paleoclimatology as well as igneous and metamorphic petrology, sedimentology and stratigraphy, volcanology, geomorphology and geoarchaeology. The yearlong Keck Consortium program enhances students? scientific and geoscience research skills and provides a robust scientific experience.
