REU Site: Addition of a Geothermal Research and Education Focus to Enhance the SAGE (Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience) REU Program

SAGE （Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience）是一个为期4-5周的实地应用地球物理学教育和研究项目。该项目已经存在了25年，每年约有25-30名研究生和本科生参加。该计划包括应用地球物理学，地震，重力，磁场和电磁场数据收集的指导。SAGE的学生参与地球物理研究项目的每个阶段，包括数据收集、数据分析、处理、建模和解释；他们以口头和书面的形式展示他们的结果。这个为期两年的项目每年为5名学生提供额外的夏季实地项目（4周）和为期一周的后续研讨会，旨在通过对夏季收集的数据进行额外分析，扩展和增强学生在地热研究方面的研究经验。SAGE的REU学生来自各种各样的机构，从小型文理学院到大型研究型大学。通过行业、政府、国家实验室和学术专业人员的大量参与，学生的职业目标从SAGE中包含的信息和经验中得到巩固。后续的工作坊也被用来提供更多的专业发展，通过协助学生准备口头或海报的研究成果，在未来的专业会议上发表。该项目包括支持约10名REU学生参加专业会议。该项目得到了能源部地热技术项目办公室的支持。

SAGE (Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience) is a 4-5 week education and research program in field-based applied geophysics. The program has existed for 25 years and involves about 25-30 graduate and undergraduate students per year. The program includes instruction in applied geophysics, and seismic, gravity, magnetic, and electromagnetic field data collection. Students at SAGE participate in every phase of a geophysical research program including data collection, data analysis, processing, modeling and interpretation; and they present their results in both oral and written form. This 2-year project supports the 5 additional students per year in the summer field program (4 weeks) and in a one-week follow-up workshop designed to extend and enhance the students' research experiences on geothermal research through additional analyses of the data collected during the summer. REU students at SAGE come from a variety of institutions ranging from small liberal arts colleges to large research universities. Student career goals are solidified from information and experiences included in SAGE through the significant participation of industry, government, national laboratory and academic professionals. The follow-up workshop is also used to provide additional professional development of the REU students through assisting them in preparation of an oral or poster presentation of research results to be given at a future professional meeting. Support for about ten of the REU students to attend a professional meeting is included in the project. This project is supported in collaboration with the Department of Energy, Office of Geothermal Technologies Program.
