REU Site: The City University of New York / Goddard Institute for Space Studies Center for Global Climate Research Phase II

纽约城市大学(CUNY)/戈达德空间研究所(GISS)全球气候研究中心(CGCR)的基础是与地球科学、大气科学、日地相互作用和全球气候影响有关的研究。CUNY/GISS CGCR-第二阶段将继续为第二个三年期的本科生提供这一独特的研究体验。每年夏天，本科生研究体验(REU)网站将招募10名学生，并在CUNY教员和NASA科学家的指导下分配到研究团队(CUNY的5个，GISS的5个)。学生将获得为期10周的研究经验津贴。除了招收四年制学院的学生外，拟议的活动还将继续包括在社区学院一级积极招募学生。纽约州立大学以外的学生，在大纽约地区，也被鼓励申请。CUNY/GISS REU网站将继续寻求每年60%未得到充分代表的少数群体和40%的女性参与。其目标是：a)为更多的大纽约市地区提供全球气候变化及相关领域的本科生夏季研究机会；b)在GISS和GUNY提供丰富的活动，包括基本技术讲习班和研讨会；c)利用现有的NASA、NSF和NOAA计划，帮助学生在学年继续他们的研究；以及d)增加STEM途径中进入研究生院和科学工作队伍的学生人数。智力优势：学生将参与由NASA和/或NOAA资助的现有研究项目。学生将从事原创性研究，并为全球气候变化的一般知识做出贡献。这种合作发生在一个小的城市地理区域内，使教职员工和学生能够每天与科学家互动。教职员工、学生和科学家建立了一种独特的关系，这对CUNY和NASA GISS都有好处。广泛的影响：CUNY和GISS这一独特的城市合作得到了扩大，使CUNY和大纽约市地区的更多本科生能够体验到CUNY/GISS丰富的科学研究和多样化的大熔炉环境。学生们参与尖端研究，进入NASA研究中心，并有机会在国家会议上展示他们的结果，并作为同行评论出版物的合著者。CUNY教职员工和GISS科学家合作有着与STEM领域代表性不足的学生合作的记录，并在选择作为职业的学生较少且退休科学家流失严重的领域推动学生通过STEM途径进入研究生学习。

The City University of New York (CUNY)/Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) Center for Global Climate Research (CGCR), is based on research related to Geoscience, Atmospheric Science, Sun-Earth interaction and Global Climate Impacts. CUNY/GISS CGCR-Phase II will continue to provide this unique undergraduate student research experience for a second three-year period. Each Summer, ten students will be recruited in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site and will be distributed among the research teams (five at CUNY, five at GISS) under the mentorship of CUNY faculty and NASA scientists. Students will receive a stipend for 10 weeks of research experience. In addition to recruiting students from four-year colleges, the proposed activities will continue to include an active recruitment of students at the community college level. Student external to CUNY, in greater NYC Region, are also encouraged to apply. The CUNY/GISS REU Site will continue to seek 60% under-represented minorities and 40% female participation each year. The Objectives are to: a)provide undergraduate summer research opportunities in Global Climate Change and related areas at CUNY and GISS to a larger Greater NYC region constituency; b)provide enrichment activities at GISS and CUNY which include basic technical skills workshops andseminars; c)assist students in continuing their research during the academic year, leveraging existing NASA, NSF and NOAA programs; and d)increase the number of students in the STEM pathway to graduate school and to the scientific workforce.Intellectual Merit :Students will be involved in existing research projects which are collaborations with NASA scientists and CUNY faculty funded by NASA and/or NOAA. Students will be engaged in original research and contributing to the general body of knowledge in Global Climate Change. The collaboration occurs within a small urban geographical area, which enables faculty and students to interact with scientists on daily basis. The faculty, students and scientists have developed a unique relationship that has benefited both CUNY and NASA GISS.Broader Impacts :This unique urban CUNY-GISS collaboration was expanded so that more undergraduate students in CUNY and the Greater New York City Region could experience the rich scientific research and the diversity of the melting pot environment of CUNY/GISS. Students are involved in cutting edge research, access to a NASA research center and have the opportunity of presenting their results at national conferences and as co-authors in peered review publications. The CUNY faculty and GISS scientists collaboration has a track record of working with students that are under-represented in STEM areas and advancing student through the STEM pathway to graduate study in areas in which fewer students are selecting as careers and where the loss of retired scientists is significant.
