Undergraduate Research Experiences in High Pressure Geophysics

该奖项延续了一个成熟而成功的暑期项目，参与者与矿物物理研究所（MPI）的教职员工一起研究高压下材料的物理和化学特性。该计划的目标是招收物理科学专业的学生，希望他们能受到激励，在地球科学领域从事研究工作。强调征聘人数不足的少数民族和妇女。该课程的学生将与MPI的成员密切合作，学生将在每周的研讨会上进行自己的项目并讨论他们的进展。在项目期间，学生将有机会参观MPI附属的其他实验室和机构。

This award continues a well-established and successful summer program where participants work with faculty members of the Mineral Physics Institute (MPI) on projects that probe the physical and chemical properties of materials at high pressures. The goal of the program is to recruit students from the physical sciences with the hope they will be stimulated to the point of pursuing a research career in the Earth Sciences. Recruitment of underrepresented minorities and women is emphasized. Students in this program will work closely with members of the MPI, students will pursue their own projects and discuss their progress during weekly seminar sessions. During the program, students will have the opportunity to visit other laboratories and institutions affiliated with the MPI.
