The Keck Geology Consortium--Providing Collaborative and Yearlong Research Experiences for Undergraduates

凯克地质协会将为51名本科生提供夏季研究经验，以23年的成功规划为基础。学生将从18所联盟院校中招募，30%的参与者将来自非联盟院校。夏季研究项目将在下一学年作为独立研究项目继续进行，并在春季凯克年度研究研讨会上达到高潮。学生将在年度论文集中发表简短的文章，并鼓励他们在区域和国家学科会议上介绍他们的工作。这些项目包括实地和实验室研究经验，将在构造地质学、古生物学和古生态学、古气候学、火成岩和变质岩石学、沉积学和地层学、火山学、地貌学和地质考古学等领域做出有意义的科学贡献。为期一年的凯克联盟项目提高了学生？科学和地球科学研究技能，并提供丰富的科学经验。

The Keck Geology Consortium will offer summer research experiences for 51 undergraduates, building on 23 years of successful programming. Students will be recruited from the 18 consortium schools, and 30% of participants will be from non-Consortium institutions. Summer research projects will be continued in the following academic year as independent study projects, culminating at Keck Annual Research Symposium in the spring. Students will publish short contributions in the annual proceedings volume and will be encouraged to present their work at regional and national disciplinary meetings. The projects involve a mix of field and laboratory research experiences that will make meaningful scientific contributions in the areas of structural geology, paleontology and paleoecology, and paleoclimatology as well as igneous and metamorphic petrology, sedimentology and stratigraphy, volcanology, geomorphology and geoarchaeology. The yearlong Keck Consortium program enhances students? scientific and geoscience research skills and provides a robust scientific experience.
