The goal of this Baja Basins Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) project is: (1) for student participants to develop skills in conducting and communicating scientific research, (2) to employ an integrative field and lab research approach, using digital technology and modern analytical lab equipment, and (3) to learn international cooperation by collaborating side-by-side with Mexican students, professors, and mining professionals to address research questions on the tectonic evolution of the economically important Santa Rosalía rift margin basin in Baja California Sur, México. Few places in the world expose volcanic and marine sedimentary sequences and large uplifted Quaternary terraces that can be used to understand the processes involved in the progressive stages of continental breakup, including magmatic activity and economic mineralization. The geologic youthfulness of the Santa Rosalía basin along this segment of the Gulf of California, as well as excellent exposures make it ideal for resolving the rates of development of structures and resulting depositional systems. Participants will spend three weeks in México conducting field research during the winter intersession to take advantage of cooler weather. This will allow time for sample preparation to be done before the four-week summer laboratory analysis session is conducted, on the campus of the University of Missouri-­Kansas City. This REU site will recruit junior undergraduate geoscience majors with an emphasis on Hispanic, bilingual, veteran, and women students. The collaboration with Mexican scientists, mining professionals, and the international nature of the fieldwork will provide an unparalleled avenue for cultural enrichment for the students as well as an experience in global cooperation between academia and industry that will be invaluable for a student's future success in an increasingly global workforce and economy.This award is being co-funded with the Office International and Integrative Activities.

巴哈盆地本科生研究经验（REU）项目的目标是：(1)培养学生开展和交流科学研究的技能；(2)采用综合的实地和实验室研究方法，利用数字技术和现代分析实验室设备；(3)通过与墨西哥学生、教授和采矿专业人员并肩合作，学习国际合作，解决下加利福尼亚南部具有重要经济意义的Santa Rosalía裂谷边缘盆地的构造演化研究问题。墨西哥。世界上很少有地方暴露出火山和海相沉积层序以及大型隆起的第四纪阶地，可以用来了解大陆分裂的渐进阶段所涉及的过程，包括岩浆活动和经济成矿作用。Santa Rosalía盆地沿着加利福尼亚湾的这一段的地质年轻，以及极好的暴露，使它成为解决构造发育速度和由此产生的沉积体系的理想选择。参与者将利用冬季期间较凉爽的天气，在墨西哥度过三周的时间进行实地研究。这将为样品准备留出时间，以便在为期四周的夏季实验室分析课程在密苏里大学堪萨斯城校区进行之前完成。这个REU网站将招收地学专业的大三本科生，重点是西班牙语、双语、退伍军人和女性学生。与墨西哥科学家、矿业专业人士的合作，以及实地考察的国际性质，将为学生提供无与伦比的文化丰富途径，以及学术界和工业界之间全球合作的经验，这对学生未来在日益全球化的劳动力和经济中取得成功将是无价的。该奖项由国际和综合活动办公室共同资助。
