The goal of this Baja Basins Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) project is: (1) for student participants to develop skills in conducting and communicating scientific research, (2) to employ an integrative field and lab research approach, using digital technology and modern analytical lab equipment, and (3) to learn international cooperation by collaborating side-by-side with Mexican students, professors, and mining professionals to address research questions on the tectonic evolution of the economically important Santa Rosalía rift margin basin in Baja California Sur, México. Few places in the world expose volcanic and marine sedimentary sequences and large uplifted Quaternary terraces that can be used to understand the processes involved in the progressive stages of continental breakup, including magmatic activity and economic mineralization. The geologic youthfulness of the Santa Rosalía basin along this segment of the Gulf of California, as well as excellent exposures make it ideal for resolving the rates of development of structures and resulting depositional systems. Participants will spend three weeks in México conducting field research during the winter intersession to take advantage of cooler weather. This will allow time for sample preparation to be done before the four-week summer laboratory analysis session is conducted, on the campus of the University of Missouri-­Kansas City. This REU site will recruit junior undergraduate geoscience majors with an emphasis on Hispanic, bilingual, veteran, and women students. The collaboration with Mexican scientists, mining professionals, and the international nature of the fieldwork will provide an unparalleled avenue for cultural enrichment for the students as well as an experience in global cooperation between academia and industry that will be invaluable for a student's future success in an increasingly global workforce and economy.This award is being co-funded with the Office International and Integrative Activities.

这个Baja盆地的本科生研究经验（REU）项目的目标是：（1）学生参与者在进行和交流科学研究方面的技能，（2）使用数字技术和现代分析实验室设备采用集成的领域和实验室研究方法，以及（3）通过与墨西哥学生，教授和领域的研究进行协作，以与墨西哥人进行协作，以与墨西哥人进行协作，并进行研究。墨西哥巴哈苏尔的圣罗莎利亚裂缘盆地。世界上很少有地方揭露火山和海洋沉积序列以及大型隆起的季阶露台，可用于了解连续分解的渐进阶段所涉及的过程，包括岩浆活动和经济矿化。加利福尼亚海湾这一部分的圣罗西亚盆地的地质年轻人以及出色的暴露使其非常适合解决结构的发展速度和由此产生的沉积系统。参与者将在墨西哥呆三个星期，在冬季间隔期间进行现场研究，以利用凉爽的天气。这将有时间在密苏里 - 堪萨斯城大学的校园内进行为期四周的暑期实验室分析会议之前进行样品准备工作。这个REU网站将招募初级本科生的地球科学专业，重点是西班牙裔，双语，退伍军人和女学生。与墨西哥科学家，矿业专业人士以及现场工作的国际性质的合作将为学生提供无与伦比的文化丰富途径，以及学术界与行业之间在全球合作方面的经验，这对于学生在全球劳动力中的未来成功而言是无价的，这些奖项越来越多。
