项目摘要

The Keck Geology Consortium, comprising 18 primarily undergraduate institutions, will offer summer research experiences for approximately 48 undergraduates each of three years, building on 20 years of successful programming by the original 12 institutions. Students will be recruited from the 18 schools, and 25 to 30% will come from non-Consortium institutions. Summer research projects will be continued in the following academic year as independent study projects, with presentations at the culminating 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 intellectual merit of the Keck Geology Consortium program includes the combined 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, and hydrogeology. The yearlong Keck Consortium program impacts students' scientific and geoscience research skills; provides a robust scientific experience culminating in presentation of results at the annual research symposium and publication in the proceedings volume; and broadens participation of females and minority groups in summer research experiences.

凯克地质财团（Keck Geology Consortium）由18个本科机构组成，将为夏季研究经验提供大约48名本科生的夏季研究经验，这是由原始12个机构成功编程的20年来建立的。学生将从18所学校招募，而25％至30％的学生将来自非律师机构。夏季研究项目将在接下来的学年作为独立研究项目继续进行，并在春季举行的凯克年度研究研讨会上进行了演讲。学生将在年度诉讼程序中发布简短的贡献，并鼓励在区域和国家纪律会议上介绍他们的作品。凯克地质财团计划的智力优点包括合并的现场和实验室研究经验，这些经验将在结构地质学，古生物学和古生态学以及古气候学以及火焰和变质质学，沉积学和地层学和地层以及水理学领域做出有意义的科学贡献。为期一年的凯克联盟计划影响学生的科学和地球科学研究技能；提供了一项强大的科学经验，最终在诉讼程序中的年度研究研讨会和出版物上表现出结果；并扩大了女性和少数群体在夏季研究经历中的参与。
