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

从申请竞赛中选出10名学生参加为期13周的研究项目。学生直接与主要研究人员、博士后、研究生和其他本科生合作，研究领域包括大气气辉、大气科学、空间等离子体物理、电离层、磁层、空气污染运输、行星大气和激光雷达。地面和太空飞行仪器的制造和校准包括在实践研究参与中，学生也可以选择构建和使用软件包来解决解析表达式，分析太空飞行数据，或操作大型数据库。除了实验室和实地工作，学生们每周参加研讨会，准备一份书面进度报告给他们的导师（可能会出版），并口头介绍他们的研究描述给教职员工和同事。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作支持。

Ten students are selected from an application competition to participate in a 13 week research program. The students work directly with research principle investigators, post-doctoral staff, graduate students, and other undergraduates in fields of their selection, including Atmospheric Airglow, Atmospheric Science, Space Plasma Physics, Ionospheres, Magnetosphere, Air Pollution Transport, Planetary Atmospheres, and Lidar. Fabrication and calibration of Ground-based and space flight instrumentation are included in this hands-on research participation, and students may also choose to construct and utilize software packages to solve analytical expressions, analyze space flight data, or manipulate large data bases. In addition to the laboratory and field work, students attend weekly seminars, prepare a written progress report to their mentors (which may be published), and orally present descriptions of their research to faculty, staff, and colleagues. The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
