REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Climate Science at Colorado State University

50名本科生(每年10名，为期5年)将被招募参加科罗拉多州立大学为期10周的大气科学夏季住宿研究体验。他们的研究将包括对天气、气候和空气污染的理解和预测。与为少数族裔服务的本科院校网络建立的伙伴关系将被用来确保从代表美国人口的广泛人口结构中招收参与计划的学生，包括以前在气象学和大气科学领域代表性不足的群体。REU参与者将经历整个研究过程，从选择主题、形成研究思路、进行文献回顾、撰写最终报告，以及在会议环境中进行陈述。暑期研究经历的高潮是一个研讨会，REU的参与者将展示一张科学海报，并口头介绍他们的暑期研究项目。通过暑期研究项目的结束，参与者将为进行科学研究做好充分的准备，对研究生院的经历有更深的了解。通过REU网站，学生将建立个人和导师网络，他们不仅是未来的资源，而且将在参与者作为科学家的发展中发挥重要作用的导师。

Fifty undergraduate students (10 per year for five years) will be recruited to participate in a 10-week summer residential research experience in Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University. Their research will include understanding and prediction of weather, climate, and air pollution. Established partnerships with a network of minority-serving undergraduate institutions will be used to ensure that participating students are recruited from a broad range of demographics representing the US population, including groups that have previously been underrepresented in meteorology and atmospheric science. REU participants will go through the full research process of choosing a topic, developing a research idea, conducting a literature review, writing a final report, and giving a presentation in a conference setting. The culmination of the summer research experience is a symposium where REU participants will present a scientific poster and give an oral presentation on their summer research projects. By the conclusion of the summer research program participants will be well prepared to conduct scientific research, have a deeper understanding of the graduate school experience. Through the REU Site, students will establish a network of individuals and mentors, who will not only be future resources, but mentors who will play an important role in the development of participants as scientists.
