提案ID：AST-0243837 PI：Mac Low，末底改马克机构：美国自然历史博物馆位于纽约市的美国自然历史博物馆（AMNH）将建立一个地球和行星科学以及天体物理学的REU网站。博物馆的物理科学部，其中包含地球和行星科学（EPS）和天体物理学的研究部门，将监督本科生在实验，观测，理论和计算项目在最近完成的玫瑰中心地球和空间在AMNH。这个REU网站将与AMNH生物科学的长期REU计划合作。除了他们在EPS和天体物理学的研究项目，学生参与者将获得接触到研究技术和哲学领域，如古生物学，遗传学和进化生物学，通过共同运行的方向会议，内部研讨会，双周非正式讨论，和联合研讨会。这个为期12周的课程每年将接待6名学生。学生们将在夏季结束时报告他们的工作，无论是在书面科学论文和15分钟的口头报告在多学科科学研讨会。

Proposal ID: AST-0243837PI: Mac Low, Mordecai-MarkInstitution: American Museum of Natural HistoryThe American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York city will establish an REU site for earth and planetary sciences and astrophysics. The Museum's Division of Physical Sciences, which contains the research departments of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) and Astrophysics, will supervise undergraduate students in experimental, observational, theoretical, and computational projects at the recently completed Rose Center for Earth and Space at AMNH. This REU site will collaborate with the long-standing REU program in biological sciences at AMNH. In addition to their research projects in EPS and astrophysics, the student participants will gain exposure to research techniques and philosophies in fields such as paleontology, genetics, and evolutionary biology, through jointly run orientation meetings, in-house workshops, biweekly informal discussions, and joint seminars. This twelve week program will host six students annually. The students will report on their work at the end of the summer, both in a written scientific paper and a 15-minute oral presentation in a multidisciplinary scientific symposium.
