Collaborative Research AGeS2 Awards Geochronology

项目摘要

Geochronology is profoundly important in Earth science research. Geochronology data are required to quantitatively resolve the 4th dimension of time inherent in Earth science, and are increasingly necessary to conduct modern, cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research. The growing geochronology need is accompanied by strong demands to broaden community access to geochronology data, enhance the ability of laboratories to meet this pressure, and increase community awareness of how these data are produced and interpreted. The AGeS (Awards for Geochronology Student research) program provides opportunities for graduate students to develop the scientific rationale for projects involving geochronology, and then provides them with hands-on experience actually acquiring data in labs, all while being mentored by geochronologists. This project will grow AGeS2 into a wider cross-disciplinary initiative to further enhance access to geochronology data, promote geochronology training, and stimulate new synergistic science. AGeS2 is aimed at 1) democratizing access to geochronology, 2) educating users of geochronology data, 3) promoting synergistic science by fostering new relationships between labs and other disciplines, and 4) providing strategic, high-quality, scientifically-valuable geochronology data for projects in which both users and producers of the data are intellectually engaged. It doubles the annual award funding for graduate student geochronology projects. A new partnership with the Geological Society of America (GSA) will allow successful management of this broader effort. AGeS2 will take advantage of new opportunities for cohort- and community building afforded by the program's popularity to maximize the educational and scientific outcomes of AGeS investments. These activities will include regular teleconferences with each year's AGeS student cohorts and two AGeS gatherings prior to the national GSA meeting. Ongoing student-lab-advisor interactions will be encouraged throughout the typical 2 year AGeS project duration to further promote project success.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.

地质年代学在地球科学研究中非常重要。需要地质年代学数据来定量解析地球科学固有的第四维时间，并且对于进行现代、前沿、跨学科研究越来越有必要。地质年代学需求不断增长，同时也强烈要求扩大社区获取地质年代学数据的机会，提高实验室应对这种压力的能力，并提高社区对如何生成和解释这些数据的认识。 AGeS（地质年代学学生研究奖）计划为研究生提供机会，为涉及地质年代学的项目发展科学原理，然后为他们提供在实验室中实际获取数据的实践经验，同时得到地质年代学家的指导。该项目将使 AGeS2 发展成为更广泛的跨学科计划，以进一步增强地质年代学数据的获取、促进地质年代学培训并激发新的协同科学。 AGeS2 的目标是 1) 实现地质年代学的民主化，2) 教育地质年代学数据的用户，3) 通过培养实验室和其他学科之间的新关系来促进协同科学，4) 为地质年代学提供战略性、高质量、有科学价值的地质年代学数据。数据的用户和生产者都在智力上参与的项目。它将研究生地质年代学项目的年度奖励资金增加了一倍。与美国地质学会 (GSA) 建立新的合作伙伴关系将有助于成功管理这项更广泛的工作。 AGeS2 将利用该计划的受欢迎程度提供的队列和社区建设新机会，最大限度地提高 AGeS 投资的教育和科学成果。这些活动将包括每年与 AGeS 学生群体举行的定期电话会议以及在全国 GSA 会议之前举行的两次 AGeS 聚会。在典型的 2 年 AGeS 项目期间，将鼓励持续的学生-实验室-顾问互动，以进一步促进项目成功。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
