项目摘要

The Keck Geology Consortium, comprising 18 primarily undergraduate institutions, will offer summer research experiences for ~51 undergraduates each of three years, building on 23 years of successful programming involving over 1100 students (56% women). Students will be recruited from the 18 schools, and 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 proposed 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 culminating in presentation of results at the annual research symposium and publication in the proceedings volume.The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

凯克地质联盟（Keck Geology Consortium）由18个本科机构组成，将为夏季研究经验提供约51名本科生的夏季研究经验，建立在23年成功的节目中，涉及1100多名学生（56％的女性）。学生将从18所学校招募，而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。拟议的项目涉及现场研究经验的混合，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，以及火成岩和变质岩石学，沉积学和地层，火山学，地球化学和地质学的领域中做出有意义的科学贡献。为期一年的凯克联盟计划增强了学生的科学和地球科学研究技能，并提供了强大的科学经验，最终在诉讼程序的年度研究研讨会和出版物上呈现结果。该地点由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。
