REU: Research Experiences in the Field with Mentors from State Geological Surveys

美国州立地质学家协会将开展一项为期两年的项目，为地学本科生提供实地研究经验。该项目的目标是让国家地质调查局更好地培训学生掌握科学的野外技术和地质制图，并激励和鼓励学生与经验丰富的地质绘图员和野外地质学家并肩工作，他们将是教师和导师。该项目的成功将通过采访学生和他们的老师/导师并跟踪学生的职业生涯来评估。这些汇编的数据将报告给一般的地球科学界。个别州的调查将从地学部门和全国范围内的夏令营项目以及全国地球科学教师协会管理的夏季田野培训项目中挑选学生。预计大多数州的实地项目将与通过国家合作地质测绘计划(与美国地质调查局合作)或其他联邦、州、地方机构或私营部门计划资助的研究相联系

9908618PriceThe Association of American State Geologists will conduct a two-year program to provide undergraduate students in geoscience with field-oriented research experiences. The objectives of the program are to have the nation's state geological surveys better train students to scientific field techniques and geologic mapping and to excite and encourage students to work in the field, side by side with experienced geologic mappers and field geologists, who will be both teachers and mentors. The success of the program will be assessed by interviewing students and their teacher/mentors and tracking the students' careers. These compiled data will be reported to the general geoscience community. Individual state surveys will select students from geoscience departments and summer field camp programs nationwide and from the summer field-training program administered by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. It is expected that most state field projects will be linked to funded research through the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey) or other federal, state, local agencies or the private sector programs
