Part 1: Nontechnical Description of the ProjectNatural hazards exist in all parts of Earth, and pose risks to humanity, human institutions, and infrastructure. These risks are rendered even more extreme, more complex, and more difficult to manage by global climate change. Effective preparation for and mitigation of natural hazards is not simply a problem for natural scientists and engineers, but also for social sciences, since hazards originate and occur in the interfaces between natural systems and societies. Research has demonstrated that better-educated societies with better-educated decision-makers are best equipped to prepare for, mitigate, and recover from natural disasters. While hazards-related public and professional education are common missions for many universities and colleges, the HazPM project will improve on this model by drawing on expertise from both the social and the natural sciences of hazards to design and implement an undergraduate workforce-training program that integrates both realms from start to finish. Our design plan is fully supported by current research and will result in an innovative, fully accessible, and rigorously tested undergraduate curriculum that will be implemented regionally and disseminated nationally. Through parallel collaboration with faculty at regional two-year colleges that serve major populations of Native American and Hispanic/Chicano/Latino students, the HazPM project team will also increase access and professional opportunities in the sciences for underrepresented minority students. Part 2: Technical DescriptionThe overall goal of the HazPM project is to better prepare undergraduate students in geoscience and many other relevant fields, such as engineering, planning, management, pre-law, and sustainability, for careers or post-graduate studies related to natural-hazards preparedness and mitigation. Drawing on a research-based design plan that integrates natural and social sciences and employs a nimble partnership of expert professionals and educators from industry, government agencies, and academia, we will develop and bring to fruition an innovative, sustainable, and readily transferable workforce-training program that will be implemented locally and disseminated nationally and globally to enable wider adoption. The primary deliverable will be an innovative, online-native, fully accessible, rigorously assessed, modular curriculum for an undergraduate certificate program. Collaboration with agency and industry professionals will ensure program validity and relevance to career opportunities. HazPM will also increase access and professional opportunities for underrepresented students (including Native American and Hispanic/Chicano/Latino students in the U. S. Southwest) by means of pedagogy that addresses the impacts of socioeconomic inequality on vulnerability to hazards in underserved communities; direct partnership with regional two-year colleges that serve significant numbers of underrepresented students; and collaboration with minority professional STEM organizations (e.g., SACNAS, AISES, NABG) in dissemination of products.Drawing on the diverse collective expertise of the principal investigators and collaborators, the HazPM project will integrate geoscientific principles and current geospatial, remote sensing, and monitoring technologies with social science principles and practices to inculcate a far broader understanding of the human, scientific, and engineering dimensions of hazards in students. Full collaborative participation of agency and industry experts in curriculum planning, development, and evaluation will ensure the validity of the program. Formative and summative assessment will maintain academic rigor. Partnering with regional community colleges will allow for the recruitment of a diverse cadre of students who reflect the cultural and socioeconomic diversity of the Southwest, and who will apply their expertise where it is most needed, especially in underserved areas. Students will be able to enter the program at these partner institutions and transfer to ASU to complete their studies. Impacts of the program on diverse students will be tracked and measured by means of institutional demographic data. The undergraduate certificate program will be fully available and accessible online, and formalized in the academic programs at ASU and collaborating community colleges to ensure its sustainability. All HazPM curriculum resources and research findings will be broadly disseminated among the academic and professional communities by means of conference presentations, refereed publications in journals of education research and teaching practice, and web hosting with links to community digital libraries such as SERC, DLESE, and UCGIS. Adoption and implementation of the program resources by other institutions will be encouraged.

第1部分：地球各个地区都存在对项目自然危害的非技术描述，并为人类，人类机构和基础设施带来风险。这些风险变得更加极端，更复杂，并且由于全球气候变化而难以管理。为自然科学家和工程师而言，有效准备和缓解自然危害的问题不仅是一个问题，而且对于社会科学而言，由于危害起源并发生在自然系统与社会之间的界面中。研究表明，拥有更好教育的决策者的受过良好教育的社会最适合为自然灾害做准备，减轻和康复。尽管与危险有关的公共和专业教育是许多大学和学院的共同任务，但HAZPM项目将通过借鉴危害的社会和自然科学的专业知识来改善该模型，以设计和实施本科生劳动力培训计划，从而整合这两个领域。当前的研究完全支持我们的设计计划，并将导致一项创新，完全访问且严格测试的本科课程，该课程将在全国范围内实施并在全国范围内实施。通过与各地区两年学院的教师的并行合作，为美国原住民和西班牙裔/奇卡诺/拉丁裔学生提供主要人群，HAZPM项目团队还将为代表性不足的少数民族学生提供科学的访问和专业机会。第2部分：技术描述HAZPM项目的总体目标是更好地为地球科学和许多其他相关领域（例如工程，规划，管理，前和可持续性）做好准备，以实现与天然危险的准备和缓解有关的职业或研究生研究。利用一项基于研究的设计计划，该计划将自然和社会科学整合在一起，并采用来自行业，政府机构和学术界的专家专业人士和教育工作者的敏捷合作伙伴关系，我们将开发并带来实现创新，可持续性且易于转移的劳动力培养计划，这些计划将在本地实施，并在国家和全球范围内实施，以实施全球和全球范围。主要可交付方式将是一项创新，在线，完全访问，严格评估的，模块化课程的本科证书课程。与代理商和行业专业人员的合作将确保计划有效性以及与职业机会的相关性。 HAZPM还将通过教学法通过教学法来增加代表性不足的学生（包括美国原住民/西班牙裔/奇卡诺/拉丁裔学生）的访问和专业机会，这些教学法解决了社会经济不平等现象对贫困社区危害的脆弱性的影响；与区域两年的大学直接合作，这些大学为大量人数不足的学生提供服务；并与少数派专业人士的STEM组织（例如Sacnas，aises，nabg）合作在传播产品中。绘制主要研究人员和合作者的多样化集体专业知识，HAZPM项目将整合地球科学原理和当前的地理范围，遥感，并与社会科学的界限和练习相关的科学领域，并涉足社会科学的范围，并将其确定为范围广泛，并实现了范围的范围。学生的危害。代理商和行业专家在课程计划，开发和评估方面的全面合作参与将确保该计划的有效性。形成性和总结性评估将保持严格性。 与区域社区大学合作将允许招募各种各样的学生，这些学生反映了西南地区的文化和社会经济多样性，并将在最需要的地方应用其专业知识，尤其是在服务欠缺的地区。学生将能够在这些合作伙伴机构中输入该计划，并转移到ASU以完成学习。该计划对不同学生的影响将通过机构人口统计数据进行跟踪和衡量。本科证书计划将在在线及ASU的学术课程和协作社区学院的学术计划中正式使用，以确保其可持续性。所有HAZPM课程资源和研究结果都将通过会议演讲，教育研究和教学实践期刊中的参考出版物以及与社区数字图书馆（如SERC，DLESE和UCGIS）的链接进行链接的网络托管。鼓励其他机构采用和实施计划资源。
