THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PHYSICAL SEDIMENTOLOGY

这笔赠款将使麻省理工学院成为九个选定的REU站点 本科生谁将参加一个为期十周的计划， 1987年夏天进行的沉积学研究。 学生将 贡献于三个正在进行的研究项目：1）床配置 组合流产生的沉积构造; 2） 砾石作为流动条件和沉积速率的函数;以及3） 混合粒径沉积物推移质输移距离和输移速度。 所有这三个将涉及学生在目前的研究项目下 PI的监督和研究生谁很快就会收到 他的Ph D。 学生将通过大广告挑选 发行地质出版物。

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.
