Undergraduate Summer Research in Seismology - REU Site

地震学联合研究机构（IRIS）将为10名本科生提供研究经验，作为其为期9-11周的实习计划的一部分。学生们将有机会与地震学研究领域的领导者一起工作，前往异国情调的地点进行实地考察，并制作值得在大型专业会议上展示的研究成果。该方法将把成熟的电信技术和最新的远程学习研究与传统REU站点的精神相结合。由此产生的混合REU模式将为实习生创造新的机会，以更充分地发展和表达他们对研究过程的理解。他们将在整个实习过程中获得持续的专业发展，并通过个人和技术联系，在受益于IRIS联盟资源的同时，创造和保持一种队列体验。这种REU模型有机会为远程学习、社区建设和与元认知相关的技能的实施有关的电信应用的不断增长的知识体系做出贡献。这种模式的成功、记录和传播将使其他组织能够将地理上分布的资源用于发展其人力资本。

The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) will provide 10 undergraduate students with research experiences as part of its 9-11 week internship program. The students will have the opportunity to work with leaders in seismological research, to travel to exotic sites for fieldwork, and to produce research products worthy of presentation at large professional conferences. Intellectual Merit The approach will be to blend mature telecommunications technology and recent research on distance learning with the spirit of a traditional REU site. The resulting blended REU model will create novel opportunities for interns to more fully develop and express their understanding of the process of research. They will receive consistent professional development throughout the internship, and connect both in person and via technology to create and maintain a cohort experience while benefiting from the resources of the IRIS Consortium. This REU model has the opportunity to contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding the application of telecommunications for distance learning, community building and the implementation of the skills associated with metacognition. The success, documentation and dissemination of this model will enable other organizations to apply geographically distributed resources to the development of their human capital.
