Concord University and Montana State University will organize a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site that will involve a total of eight students each year in an international geologic field experience in Greenland. Students will spend five weeks at a field site on the west coast of Greenland while mapping geologic structures in the newly established Aasivissuit - Nipisat UNESCO World Heritage site. This unique location will allow the students to learn important field mapping and sampling skills, contribute to an improved understanding of this important location and make connections with the local communities. Travel expenses to the program and logistic support for fieldwork in Greenland will be provided. Students will receive stipends to support their work while in the field and while completing final analysis, reporting and preparation of publications at their home institutions. This project addresses a cutting-edge question in earthquake dynamics from a geologic perspective. By mapping and sampling a pseudotachylyte system exposed for more than 34 km along strike, REU students will test a new hypothesis for the origin of multi-fault earthquake rupture and generate a geologic data set that will provide a unique compliment to geophysical and geodynamic investigations for multi-fault rupture processes. Students will participate in an intensive field research experience in a remote international setting. The REU will be hosted by a primarily undergraduate institution and recruitment will focus on students who are historically disadvantaged or from groups underrepresented in the geosciences. The field research will take place within the Aasivissuit - Nipisat UNESCO World Heritage site in western Greenland; thus, the project will incorporate lessons about the indigenous heritage of the region and students will share science findings with local educators and community members in Greenland. This project is supported by the Division of Earth Sciences and the Office of Polar Programs in the Geoscience Directorate.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

康科德大学和蒙大拿州立大学将组织一个新的本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站，每年将有 8 名学生参与格陵兰岛的国际地质现场体验。学生们将在格陵兰岛西海岸的实地考察五周，同时在新建立的 Aasivissuit - Nipisat 联合国教科文组织世界遗产地绘制地质结构图。这一独特的地理位置将使学生能够学习重要的实地测绘和采样技能，有助于加深对这一重要地点的了解，并与当地社区建立联系。将提供该计划的差旅费以及格陵兰实地考察的后勤支持。学生将获得津贴，以支持他们在现场工作以及在其所在机构完成最终分析、报告和出版物准备。该项目从地质角度解决了地震动力学的前沿问题。通过对沿走向暴露超过 34 公里的拟速晶系统进行测绘和采样，REU 学生将测试多断层地震破裂起源的新假设，并生成地质数据集，为地球物理和地球动力学研究提供独特的补充。多断层破裂过程。学生将在偏远的国际环境中参与密集的实地研究体验。 REU 将由一所主要本科院校主办，招生重点是历史上处于不利地位的学生或来自地球科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生。实地研究将在格陵兰岛西部的联合国教科文组织世界遗产 Aasivissuit - Nipisat 内进行；因此，该项目将纳入有关该地区土著遗产的课程，学生将与格陵兰当地教育工作者和社区成员分享科学发现。该项目得到了地球科学部和地球科学局极地项目办公室的支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。
