The Atlanta Consortium for Research in the Earth Science (ACRES) will conduct a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program at Georgia State University. The purpose of the proposed REU program is to extend opportunities to participate in geoscience research to undergraduate students and secondary school science teachers from the southeast region. REU program participants will work in teams with ACRES faculty on selected research problems in regional geology. Projects are 1) The Paleontology, Petrology, Depositional Environments and Early Diagenesis of the Sandersville Limestone member of the Tobacco Road Sandstone (Eocene), Coastal Plain of Georgia 2) A Comparative Study of the Geochemistry, Sedimentology and Micropaleontology of Developed and Undeveloped Marginal Marine Systems on the Georgia and South Carolina Coasts 3) Comparative Geochemistry of Flat Rock Park Gneiss, Motts Gneiss, and Other Granitoidal Gneisses in the Uchee Belt and 4) Fluid Inclusions from the Uchee Belt: Theoretical and Experimental Evaluation of Decrepitation Behavior and Microthermometric Determination of Pressure-Temperature Conditions During Metamorphism.

亚特兰大地球科学研究联盟 (ACRES) 将在佐治亚州立大学开展本科生研究体验 (REU) 现场项目。 拟议的 REU 计划的目的是为东南地区的本科生和中学科学教师提供参与地球科学研究的机会。 REU 项目参与者将与 ACRES 教师合作，研究区域地质学的选定研究问题。 项目包括 1) 佐治亚州沿海平原烟草路砂岩（始新世）桑德斯维尔石灰岩段的古生物学、岩石学、沉积环境和早期成岩作用 2) 已开发和未开发边缘海洋的地球化学、沉积学和微古生物学比较研究乔治亚州和南卡罗来纳州海岸的系统 3) 平岩公园片麻岩、莫茨片麻岩和莫茨片麻岩的比较地球化学Uchee 带中的其他花岗岩片麻岩和 4) Uchee 带中的流体包裹体：爆裂行为的理论和实验评估以及变质过程中压力-温度条件的显微测温测定。
