The San Francisco volcanic field in northern Arizona is a natural laboratory for investigating the eruptive processes of cinder-cone volcanoes, the effects of eruption and erosion of these common but small systems on landscape forms, and the patterns and timing of volcanism. A multi-disciplinary team from Northern Arizona University, University of Arizona (Biosphere 2), and University of New Hampshire will offer an 8-week summer REU experience to 10 undergraduate students each summer, funded by the NSF Directorate for Geosciences. Two-three students from the first-year cohort will be invited to return in the second year to mentor new students, thus ensuring a long-lasting investment in research and experience in teaching other young scientists. The goals of the project are to provide all students with (1) a fundamental understanding of the relations between landscapes and basaltic volcanism, (2) an opportunity to construct a research project, with guidance from a mentor who will work alongside the student, (3) an understanding of how a research project is executed, from the initial research proposal to the final presentation and publication of results, (4) first-hand experience in interdisciplinary collaborations and research, and (5) a network of colleagues and mentors who will support the student's development as a scholar. In the first two weeks of the program, students will learn theories of basaltic volcanism, Quaternary dating methods, and landscape studies. The first week will culminate in a two-day trip to Biosphere 2, an enclosed Earth system near Tucson, AZ. At the end of the second week, the student, with the assistance of his/her mentor, will write a research prospectus that will guide the goals and field or lab activities of the following five weeks. After a further 1-2 week study of a specific volcano, students in Quaternary dating projects will depart for the host lab to carry out their analyses. These students will continue to network with those who remain in Flagstaff throughout the summer, and, in the final week of the program, students and mentors will gather in Flagstaff to create posters that will model GSA/AGU posters. On the final day, students will join with participants in other REU programs at NAU for a research symposium. The posters will then be presented at GSA or AGU meetings that fall.

亚利桑那州北部的旧金山火山场是研究煤渣孔火山喷发过程的自然实验室，这些常见但小型系统对景观形式的爆发和侵蚀的影响以及火山主义的模式和时间。 来自亚利桑那大学，亚利桑那大学（Biosphere 2）和新罕布什尔大学的多学科团队将为每年夏天的10名本科生提供为期8周的夏季REU经验，由NSF董事会资助。 一年级队列的两名学生将被邀请在第二年返回指导新学生，从而确保在教授其他年轻科学家的研究和经验方面进行持久的投资。 该项目的目标是为所有学生提供（1）对景观和底层火山之间的关系的基本理解，（2）一个将与学生一起工作的导师的指导，（3）对研究项目的理解，从最初的研究和最终的研究及其成果的研究（4）Intervorial（4）Interdircial（4）Interdirciral（4）Interdirciral intrivil of（4）Interdirciral intriforce（4），（3）将支持学生作为学者的发展的同事和导师。在该计划的前两周，学生将学习玄武岩火山，第四纪约会方法和景观研究的理论。 第一周将在为期两天的生物圈2之旅中达到高潮，这是亚利桑那州图森附近的一个封闭的地球系统。 在第二周结束时，在他/她的导师的协助下，该学生将撰写一份研究招股说明书，该招股说明书将指导接下来五个星期的目标，现场或实验室活动。 经过1-2周的特定火山研究，第四纪约会项目的学生将出发前往主持人实验室进行分析。 这些学生将继续与整个夏季留在弗拉格斯塔夫的人建立联系，在该计划的最后一周，学生和导师将在弗拉格斯塔夫聚集，创建将建模GSA/AGU海报的海报。 在最后一天，学生将与NAU的其他REU计划的参与者一起参加研究研讨会。 然后，海报将在秋季的GSA或AGU会议上呈现。
