Research Experience for Undergraduates in the Geosciences

9322471阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学地球物理研究所的Christensen本科生研究经验（REU）项目要求在未来三年内每年为8名学生提供固体地球物理研究经验。该项目将为主修地质学、地球物理学、物理学及相关学科的本科生提供在研究环境中工作的经验。该计划的目标是让本科生了解地球物理各个领域令人兴奋的研究机会，包括地震学、火山学、地质年代学、地球化学、古地学和构造学，并鼓励本科生继续在这些或其他科学领域攻读研究生。将特别鼓励妇女和少数民族申请。许多学生将从全国各地的小型文理学院录取，像这样的项目很可能是他们在决定是否要读研之前深入接触固体地球科学领域的唯一机会。在与研究生的接触中，通过参加研讨会和论文答辩，学生们将对研究生生活有一个准确的认识。在这个项目中，学生被分配与个别教师调查人员一起完成调查人员分配的项目。此外，每周还会有一系列有组织的讲座和实地考察，让学生接触到超出自己项目范围的其他研究领域。

9322471 Christensen Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site grant support is requested for 8 students in Solid Earth Geophysics for each of the next three years at the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks. The program will give undergraduates majoring in geology, geophysics, physics, and closely related disciplines, experience working in a research environment. The program objective is to acquaint undergraduates with exciting research opportunities in the various fields of geophysics concentrating on seismology, volcanology, geochronology, geochemistry, paleomagnetics and tectonics and encouraging the undergraduates to go on to graduate school in these or other scientific fields. Women and minorities will be particularly encouraged to apply. Many of the students will be recruited from small liberal arts colleges throughout the Nation, and programs like this are likely to be their only opportunity for in depth exposure to the fields of solid earth sciences before they must make decisions regarding graduate school. In their contacts with graduate students and by attending seminars and thesis defenses, the students will obtain an accurate perspective of graduate student life. In this program, students are assigned to work with individual faculty investigators on projects assigned by the investigators. In addition there will be an organized series of weekly lectures and field trips to expose students to other fields of research beyond the scope of their own project.
