REU Site: Undergraduate Research Participation Site at the Space Physics Research Laboratory, University of Michigan

这一奖项是为了继续密歇根大学空间物理研究实验室的本科生研究体验计划。10到13名本科生被竞争性地挑选出来，与大约30名教职员工中的一名一起度过三个月的暑期工作。研究领域包括气辉和大气科学、空间等离子体物理、行星大气、电离层和磁层、空气污染传输和激光雷达。这些学生有机会与他们的导师、该项目的其他本科生、大学的研究生以及其他教职员工和研究人员互动。他们能够亲身体验已经或即将在太空飞行的仪器，对大气进行遥感测量，以及制造和校准这些最先进系统的部件。他们还能够选择构建和使用软件包，这些软件包可以解决解析表达式，以图像形式呈现空间飞行数据，并操作大型数据库。他们的部分经验包括参加教职员工每周一次的研讨会，将他们的工作写在给导师的报告中(可能会发表)，以及向学生和教职员工口头介绍他们的报告。

This award is to continue a Research Experience for Undergraduates program at the Space Physics Research Laboratory of the University of Michigan. Ten to thirteen undergraduate students are competitively selected to spend three summer months working with one of about 30 faculty members. Research areas include Airglow and Atmospheric Science, Space Plasma Physics, Planetary Atmospheres, Ionospheres and Magnetospheres, Air Pollution Transport, and Lidars. The students have opportunities to interact with their mentors, other undergraduate students in the program, graduate students at the university and other faculty members and research staff. They are able to have hands on experience working with instrumentation which has or will fly in space, making remote sensing measurements of the atmosphere, and fabricating and calibrating components of these state of the art systems. They are also able to choose to construct and work with software packages which solve analytical expressions, present space flight data in image forms, and manipulate large data bases. A portion of their experience involves attending weekly seminars given by the faculty staff, writing up their work in a report for their mentor (which may be publishable), and presenting their report orally to the students and staff.
