REU Site: Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience (SAGE)

该REU网站将利用现代实地设备和计算机处理/解释工具，让学生积极参与激动人心的应用地球物理研究的所有阶段。该计划将从通过讲座、讨论和演示以及科学研究实践学习一些先进的地球物理理论和应用开始。在这些活动之后，将进行实地数据收集、数据分析/处理和建模/解释。学生将与教师、助教和行业专家一起学习地球物理测量，如地震反射和折射、重力、磁学、温度测井(地热研究)和电磁学。每个学生还将完成对选定的地球物理数据集的数据处理、解释和建模，并就他们的研究和结果做报告(口头和书面)。其他研究经验将包括在1月份的后续研讨会中。通常，为了专业发展，一半以上的罗伊斯大学学生还将支持参加科学课程，以便以海报或口头演示的形式展示他们的成果。REU网站将邀请最多12名高年级学生参加为期4周的实地研究体验，随后是为期1周的数据建模工作。今年的地球物理研究将包括我们对里奥格兰德裂谷(RGR)地区的盆地规模研究，以及我们多年来一直收集和解释数据的San Marcos Pueblo遗址的考古地球物理研究。2014年的盆地规模地球物理工作将把现有的圣人RGR横断面向西延伸到RGR圣多明各盆地的最深处。这一侧面就在圣多明各普韦布洛以西。我们将在普韦布洛的土地上工作，并将有一些圣多明戈普韦布洛的学生(很可能是一些科奇蒂普韦布洛的学生-总共六名普韦布洛的学生)参加为期七天的REU计划，为他们提供RGR和新墨西哥州的地质知识和介绍，并向他们介绍地球物理和地质野外工作和方法。2014年实地地区和地球物理研究还将通过温度记录和分析，以地热勘探为目标。我们的剖面位于厚厚的第三纪沉积物区域，这些沉积物可能具有较低的导热系数，可能会导致温度异常。该剖面还紧邻年轻的火山中心区域，因此我们将有一些有趣的地热数据来解释并与我们的其他地球物理结果进行比较。该项目是与能源部地热技术方案办公室合作支持的。

This REU site will actively involve students in all phases of exciting, applied geophysical research using modern field equipment and computer processing/interpretation tools. The program will begin with learning some advanced geophysical theory and applications through lectures, discussions and demonstrations, and scientific research practices. These activities will be followed by data collection in the field, data analysis/processing, and modeling/interpretation. Students will work with faculty, teaching assistants, and industry experts in geophysical surveys such as seismic reflection and refraction, gravity, magnetics, temperature logging (geothermal studies), and electromagnetics. Each student will also complete data processing, interpretation and modeling of a selected geophysical data set and makes reports (oral and written) on their research and results. Additional research experience is included in a follow-up workshop in January. Typically, more than half of the REU students will also supported, for professional development, to attend a scientific to present their results in a poster or oral presentation. The REU site will engage up to 12 rising seniors in a 4-week field research experience, followed by a 1-week data modeling effort.The geophysical research for this year will include our basin-scale studies of the Rio Grande rift (RGR) area and archaeological geophysics studies of the San Marcos Pueblo site where we have been collecting and interpreting data for several years. The basin-scale geophysical work in 2014 will extend an existing SAGE RGR transect to the West into the deepest part of the Santo Domingo basin of the RGR. The profile is just west of the Santo Domingo Pueblo. We will be working on Pueblo land and will have some Santo Domingo Pueblo students (and most likely some Cochiti Pueblo students - for a total of six Pueblo students) participating in seven days of the REU program to provide them with and introduction to the geology of the RGR and New Mexico and introduce them to geophysical and geological field work and methods. The 2014 field area and geophysical research will also target geothermal exploration through temperature logging and analysis. Our profile is in an area of thick tertiary sediments that are likely to have low thermal conductivity that could cause temperature anomalies. The profile is also immediately adjacent to an area of young volcanic centers so we will have some interesting geothermal data to interpret and compare with our other geophysical results. This project is supported in collaboration with the Department of Energy, Office of Geothermal Technologies Program.
