REU Site-Research Experience for Undergraduates: Analyzing Global Databases

该奖项为哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球观测站（LDEO）的本科生研究经验（REU）计划提供了新的资金。该计划将在2013年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的积极学习体验。全球数据库和地球科学主题侧重于地球和海洋科学中未解决的科学问题的实习经验。该计划的主要目标是教学生什么是研究，这样他们就可以探索研究科学家的职业选择。一个次要的目标是教他们关于地球和海洋科学令人兴奋的前沿问题，使他们成为认识到未来的机会。学生将在LDEO令人兴奋的研究环境中与120多名博士级地球科学家一起工作。每个学生将由这些科学家之一，谁将担任研究顾问指导。资金用于学生津贴、宿舍住宿、往返网站的旅费、研究用品和一些行政支持。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University. The program would provide 10 students with a 10-week active learning experience during the summer of 2013. The Global Databases and Geoscience theme focuses the intern experience on unsolved scientific problems in the earth and ocean sciences. The primary goal of the program is to teach students what research is like, so they can explore the career option of a research scientist. A subsidiary goal is to teach them about exciting forefront issues in earth and ocean sciences, so that they become cognizant of future opportunities. Students will work in LDEO's exciting research environment with over 120 PhD-level geoscientists. Each student will be mentored by one of these scientists, who will serve as research advisor. Funding is provided for student stipends, housing in dorm rooms, travel to and from the site, research supplies and some administative support.
