THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PHYSICAL SEDIMENTOLOGY

这笔赠款将允许麻省理工学院为9名被选中的本科生提供REU站点，这些本科生将参加1987年夏天为期10周的沉积学研究项目。这些学生将为三个正在进行的研究项目做出贡献：1)由组合水流产生的床层结构和沉积结构；2)砾石的结构作为流动条件和沉积速率的函数；以及3)混合尺寸沉积物中的推移距离和输送速度。所有这三个项目的学生都将参与目前在PI监督下的研究项目，一名即将获得博士学位的研究生将通过在发行量较大的地质学出版物上的广告进行挑选。

This grant will allow MIT to serve as an REU site for nine selected undergraduates who will take part in a ten-week program in sedimentological research during the summer of 1987. The students will contribute to three ongoing research projects: 1) Bed configurations and sedimentary structures produced by combined flow; 2) Texture of gravels as a function of flow conditions and deposition rate; and 3) Bed-load travel distances and transport speeds in mixed-size sediments. All three will involve the students in current research projects under the supervision of the PI and a graduate student who will soon receive his Ph D. Students will be selected through advertisements in large circulation geological publications.
