A Graduate and Training Program in Geofluids

流体循环、组成、相互作用和历史对于理解各种地壳动力学过程具有重要意义，这些过程包括洋中脊的演化、盆地形成、碰撞构造、气候变化、海洋历史、古湖泊学和污染物的命运。geofluid项目在全球范围内包含了这一共性，作为明尼苏达大学地壳尺度地质水文多学科研究生培训和研究的独特组织概念。掌握基本原理和全球联系的候选人将特别为21世纪的学术和社会贡献做好准备。温切尔地球科学学院最近设立了水文地质学的吉布森教授和吉布森客座教授职位，以及最先进的建模设施和配套支持。再加上湖沼学研究中心最近的发展，稳定和重同位素地球化学的新方向，以及卓越的分析设施，现在存在着合作指导新的教育倡议和跨学科研究机会的临界质量，以供研究生研究培训。博士课程结合了地球科学和大学水资源辅修课程，GRT的学生将通过与国家实验室和国际研究工作的合作获得独特的经验。geofluid项目包括在大学范围内跨学科研究生研究培训的有效科学管理以及招募和推广吸引优秀本科生方面的优势。招聘计划包括为本科生开设周末短期课程，为来自中西部大学的教授提供培训讲习班，与历史上的黑人机构合作，提供教授职位，以及一个活跃的跨学科研讨会论坛。相应的资金总额为20,000美元/年，将用于促进geofluid项目的管理和招聘。＊＊＊

9354936 Person Fluid circulation, composition, interaction, and history are of fundamental importance in understanding crustal dynamic processes as diverse as the evolution of mid-ocean ridges, basin formation, collision tectonics, climate change, ocean history, paleolimnology, and the fate of pollutants. The GEOFLUIDS program embraces this commonality on a global scale as a unique organizational concept for multi-disciplinary graduate training and research in crustal- scale geohydrology at the University of Minnesota. A candidate who masters the underlying principles and global linkages will be especially prepared for academic and societal contributions in the 21st century. The Winchell School of Earth Sciences recently established the endowed Gibson Chair and Gibson Visiting Professorships in hydrogeology, along with state-of-the-art modeling facilities and matching support. Coupled with the recent growth of the Limnological Research Center, new directions in stable-and heavy- isotope geochemistry, and exceptional analytical facilities, critical mass now exists for collaborative guidance of new educational initiatives and interdisciplinary research opportunities in crustal-scale geohydrology for Graduate Research Traineeships. The Ph.D. program combines Geosciences and a University Water Resources Minor, GRT students will gain unique experience through collaboration with national laboratories and international research efforts. The GEOFLUIDS program includes proven strengths in effective scientific management of university- wide interdisciplinary graduate reseach training as well as recruiting and outreach to attract outstanding undergraduates. Recruitment plans include a weekend short course for undergraduates and training workshops for their professors from Midwestern colleges, partnerships with historically Black institutions with professorship, and a lively interdisciplinary seminar forum. Matching funds totaling $20,000/year will be used to fac ilitate the administration and recruitment of the GEOFLUIDS program. ***
