给大家看一个Berkeley的良心老师

其实我有点海套的意思，还没看清楚老师的研究方向就发了一封Email，结果老师的回复也是满满的诚意，如下：
Dear Li Jiangyu,
thanks much for your message and interest in our program. I will be quite eager to find a student to join my active tectonics research group this coming year. Of course, graduate school admissions are a competitive/difficult process, and most years more than 20 applicants are interested in my group, from which we have to select one or two to recommend for admission. However, I am not quite sure if your background and interests are the best match for what we do in my group.

.google  иOur research is quite interdisciplinary focusing on the recent, neotectonic aspects of deformation, rather than tectonics/structural geology in a classic sense. That is, we rely on a mix of geodesy using GPS and InSAR, investigations of (micro)seismicity, tectonic geomorphology, and field mapping. Such observations can then be used to constrain models (usually mathematical constructs) of the first-order mechanics of an actively deforming region, such as the San Andreas fault system, Alaska, Japan, the Sumatra-Andaman subduction zone, or the India-Eurasia collision zone. Many of our efforts are focused on elucidating the various components of the earthquake cycle and related rheological properties of lithospheric materials. We also consider repeating micro-earthquakes and deeply seated non-volcanic tremors to improve our understanding of the behavior of shallow and deep fault zones, respectively. A related topic of interest is related to earthquake triggering and fault interaction via static and dynamic processes. Finally, we have interests in deformation related to non-tectonic surface loads, subsurface fluid flow and landsliding. Our group web pages with references and some research summaries are at XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX These should give you an overview of some of the things we've been working on and the approaches we've taken.

I do appreciate, and encourage students who have their own ideas for possible research projects. It would be good to discuss possible projects and ideas during and even prior to the application process, depending on your interests.

The department web pages atxxxxxxxx provide information about other faculty and programs, and applicant information. You may want to contact some of the other faculty members whose program would also be of interest to you. We fully support all of our students (that is, we pay for tuition, fees, and salary).

Please don't hesitate to get back to me with any additional questions you may have.

Cheers,
Roland

辛苦陶瓷这么久，好难得遇到这么好的老师，虽然老师觉得我的方向不太合适，但我要个这个老师打满分！

同学莫装逼么，这里面的内容你看的懂什么意思么

嗯，确实没看懂。。。
大概看了下，就是先thanks for interest， 然后宣传下自己的research， 最后再encourage一下你。请问，我遗漏了什么吗？
除了开头dear提到了你，其他还有什么地方能看出是专门针对你写的吗？
anyway，有回复就不错啦，LZ加油！

这不是模板回复吗？→_→

针对我的地方不是写着了么“I am not quite sure if your background and interests are the best match for what we do in my group.”和“rather than tectonics/structural geology in a classic sense.”人家写的都是实话，因为他做的是新构造，大约7千万年以内发生的事儿，用的是地球物理的方法，地震学，反射衍射什么的，我做的是传统构造，3亿到1亿年发生的事儿，用的是年代学，地球化学什么的，用的方法和他不一样，所以他才说让我在找合适的老师，人家说的在理

楼主你申MAster还是PHD啊

。。。。什么叫闲工夫我也是醉了。。。

越是厉害的老师越是没有架子 哈哈， 也不是说有架子的不是好老师啦。。。还是要给这个老师点个赞！

这个真心是个好老师，想问一下，楼主这是自制模版，还是套的

我是自制的，每个老师都会好好看一下他的方向和研究内容，其他介绍自己的 内容都一样
