Research Experience for Undergraduates in the Geosciences (REU Site)

克里斯滕森本科生研究经验（REU）网站赠款将支持至少八名本科生在地球物理研究所，阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯固体地球物理。该计划将给主修地质学，地球物理学，物理学和密切相关的学科的本科生，在地球物理研究所进行的研究类型的经验。该计划的目标是让本科生熟悉地球物理学各个领域的令人兴奋的研究机会，集中在地震学，火山学，地质年代学，地球化学，古地磁学，大地测量学，构造学，冰川和海冰以及遥感，并鼓励本科生继续在这些或其他科学领域的研究生院。特别鼓励妇女和少数民族申请。在这个程序中，学生被分配到由调查员分配的项目与个人的主要研究人员。在与研究生的接触中，通过参加研讨会和论文答辩，学生将获得对研究生生活的准确看法。这是我们的希望，这个计划将给本科生，许多从小型文理学院，深入接触固体地球科学领域的机会，他们必须作出决定之前，关于研究生院。此外，还将组织一系列每周讲座和实地考察，让实习生接触他们自己项目范围以外的其他研究领域。

ChristensenThis Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site grant will support a minimum of eight undergraduates in Solid Earth Geophysics at the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks. The program will give undergraduates majoring in geology, geophysics, physics, and closely related disciplines, experience in the types of research conducted at the Geophysical Institute. The program objective is to acquaint undergraduates with the exciting research opportunities in the various fields of geophysics concentrating on seismology, volcanology, geochronology, geochemistry, paleomagnetics, geodesy, tectonics, glaciers and sea ice, and remote sensing, and encouraging the undergraduates to go on to graduate school in these or other scientific areas. Women and minorities will be particularly encouraged to apply. In this program, students are assigned to work with individual principal investigators on projects assigned by the investigators. In their contacts with graduate students and by attending seminars and thesis defenses, the students will obtain an accurate perspective on graduate student life. It is our hope that this program will give undergraduate students, many from small liberal arts colleges, the opportunity for in-depth exposure to the fields of solid earth sciences before they must make decisions regarding graduate school. In addition there will be an organized series of weekly lectures and field trips to expose interns to other fields of research beyond the scope of their own project.
