New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) plans to engage at least five U.S. undergraduate/graduate students for 5+ weeks per year over the grant period (15+ students total) in geology field and laboratory work in the Czech Republic and Poland. The impacted students (majority Hispanic, Native American and female) are among those targeted by NSF for increasing representation in STEM. This project will advance the mission of NSF by training and fostering research for underrepresented students and serve NMHU's mission to provide student research opportunities. A distinctive scheme of the International Research Experience for Students (IRES) Phase II is that it involves supporting a Fine Art and/or Media Arts graduate student each year to travel with the cohort to document the geologic activities and cultural aspects of the travel. The mixing of these students into the scope of the project will bring a fresh perspective to fully realize the scientific aspects and to visually communicate the societal impacts of IRES Phase II. The work plan balances the needs of scientific inquiry and student training. It will further the reputation of NMHU – New Mexico's premier Hispanic serving institution. The research collaboration capitalizes on the expertise of the PIs and mentors to study earth system process using a diverse tool set. The proposed activities will explore creative and transformative concepts advancing our knowledge of the ancient volcanic systems and understanding how the natural environment is intertwined with the cultural heritage of the region. The physical and digital media products will be shared with the general public to detail how and why geologic research is conducted and document the excitement of geologic discovery.The objectives of the IRES Phase II research endeavors are to scrutinize the roots of the magmatic-plutonic system, aspects of the driving tectonics, and resultant sedimentation. IRES Phase I investigations (2017-2022) provided important constraints on the growth, evolution, and deformation of the shallow magmatic systems (1 km). IRES Phase II focuses on windows of exposure into the deeper magmatic plumbing and emplacement system (2-10 km depth) along with clastic, lacustrine, and fluvial sediments deposited due to the volcanic-tectonic activity. Our methods include: 1) primary field observations of igneous and sedimentary fabrics, structural measurements, and sample collection for petrologic, paleomagnetic, and rock magnetic analysis and 2) geophysical surveys to map the subsurface structure and inform overall interpretations. Each mentor's expertise and the laboratory facilities at NMHU, Czech Republic, and Poland will be accessible to support the U.S. IRES students. The proposed activities will explore creative and transformative concepts advancing our knowledge of the magmatic-plutonic system by asking: Do we see vertical or lateral magma flow in the "deep" part of the magmatic system? Do we see a change in fabric orientation from magmatic to tectonic and at what structural level(s)? Questions related to tectonics and sedimentation include: What are the tectonic and depositional settings of the post Variscan basins during the early Paleozoic? What is the nature of Neogene sedimentation associated with the Eger graben in Czech Republic? Do clast compositions indicate a local provenance or a more regional source rock? Can depositional facies be used as piercing points for constraining fault offset? IRES Phase II will provide critical data on these and other research topics. The project will expose students to multidisciplinary approaches to geologic research, build the next generation of geoscientists poised with important transferable skills (critical thinking, communication, multivariate data analysis, and global competency), and involve students in collaborative research that challenges long-standing models of orogeny, igneous activity, and select depositional histories in parts of Bohemia.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.

新墨西哥州高地大学（NMHU）计划在捷克共和国和波兰的地质领域和实验室工作中，每年与至少五名美国本科/研究生参与5周以上（15多名学生）。受影响的学生（多数西班牙裔，美洲原住民和女性）是NSF旨在增加STEM代表的目标。该项目将通过培训和培养代表性不足的学生的研究来推进NSF的使命，并为NMHU提供学生研究机会的任务。国际学生研究经验（IRES）第二阶段的独特计划是，它涉及每年支持美术和/或媒体艺术研究生，与该队列一起旅行，以记录旅行的地质活动和文化方面。这些学生将这些学生混合到项目范围中将带来新的视角，以充分实现科学方面并在视觉上传达IRES II阶段的社会影响。工作计划平衡了科学探究和学生培训的需求。它将进一步对新墨西哥州总理西班牙裔服务机构NMHU进行审查。该研究合作利用PIS和导师的专家使用潜水员工具集研究地球系统过程。拟议中的活动将探索创造性和变革性的概念，推动我们对古代火山系统的了解，并了解自然环境如何与该地区的文化遗产交织在一起。物理和数字媒体产品将与公众共享，以详细介绍如何以及为何进行地质研究并记录地质发现的兴奋。IRESII期研究努力的目标是仔细检查Magmatic-Plutonic系统的根源，驱动构件的各个方面以及产生的沉积。 IRES I期研究（2017-2022）对浅层岩浆系统的生长，演变和变形（1 km）提供了重要的限制。 IRES II期专注于暴露于更深层次的岩浆管道和安置系统（2-10 km深度），以及由于火山结构活动而沉积的经典，湖泊和河流沉积物。我们的方法包括：1）对火成岩和沉积织物的主要田间观测，结构测量以及岩石学，古磁和岩石磁分析的样品收集以及2）地球物理调查以绘制地下结构并提供整体解释。每个导师的专业知识和NMHU，捷克共和国和波兰的实验室设施将可以访问以支持美国IRES学生。拟议的活动将探索通过询问：我们是否看到岩浆系统“深”部分中的垂直或侧向岩浆流来探索我们对磁性系统系统的了解？我们是否看到织物方向从岩浆到构造以及在哪个结构层面的变化？与构造学和沉积有关的问题包括：早期古生代期间，瓦里斯卡后低音的构造和沉积环境是什么？与捷克共和国的Eger Graben相关的新金元沉积的本质是什么？碎屑成分表明当地经过验证还是更具区域性的岩石？是否可以将存储设施用作约束故障偏移的穿孔点？ IRES II期将提供有关这些和其他研究主题的关键数据。 The project will expose students to multidisciplinary approaches to geologic research, build the next generation of geoscientists poisoned with important transferred skills (critical thinking, communication, multivariate data analysis, and global competency), and involve Students in collaborative research that challenges long-standing models of orogeny, igneous activity, and select depositional histories in parts of Bohemia.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed precious of support through使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准进行评估。
