This award will support the sixth biannual Structural Geology and Tectonics Forum, which will be held June 15-19, 2020 at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. The forum will bring together specialists in structural geology and tectonics for oral and poster presentations, field trips, and short courses. The Structural Geology and Tectonics Program provides the framework for the structural geology and tectonics community to communicate, develop, and advance teaching and research among educators and investigators. These forums play a key role in identifying key pedagogical advances and methods applied to structural geology and tectonics, important science questions in structural geology and tectonics, while initiating collaborative relationships to address these questions. The meeting will include three days of presentations that will include technical sessions that involve themes that have been identified by a recently published community vision document that highlighted important research areas in tectonics. The workshop will also identify and discuss pedagogical advances and advances and methods, specifically as they apply to some of the discipline specific challenges of teaching structural geology and tectonics and discuss future directions in tectonics research. It will create opportunities to foster new collaborations through the cross-pollination of ideas and techniques, and it will provide a platform for early career professionals and students that supports and promotes their careers at a critical stage in their professional development. Following the format of previous meetings, each session will highlight an important area of current research and/or education that will be anchored by a distinguished keynote speaker and will showcase relevance of work on the topic. Poster sessions with abundant time for full participant interaction will accompany each session. The forum will be organized to maximize the exchange of ideas between participants in open discussions. Sessions will provide ample opportunity to ask questions of individual presenters, assess the current state of our knowledge, and consider productive areas for future research. In addition to the formal meeting, there will be field trips to examine the geology of selected areas of adjacent areas that will focus on best practices for teaching in the field and leading more accessible field trips. The Structural Geology and Tectonics Forum is designed to facilitate community building and personal interaction within different segments of the structural geology community. It will bring together faculty from research universities, liberal arts colleges, community and two-year colleges, and minority-serving institutions. Speakers who identify as members of traditionally underrepresented groups as well as professionals from two- and four- year colleges will provide diverse representation across all of the organizing committees for the 2020 forum. Importantly, there will be group discussions on critical developments in structural geology and tectonics, and what future research priorities should be. This community building effort will help create a stronger, more vibrant group of scientists and help introduce graduate students and advanced undergraduates to the structural geology and tectonics disciplines. The setting will be particularly useful for graduate students, who will be able to use the venue and informal nature of the forum to find out what research is taking place at other institutions, meet a wide range of faculty, and develop useful contacts which will be of great value to their future careers. Informal mentoring sessions will facilitate opportunities for early career professionals and students in navigating careers in structural geology and tectonics. Students will present their own work in a friendly environment where they can obtain thoughtful and useful feedback, as well as providing opportunity to build new scientific collaborations. An important contribution of this forum will include a session aimed identifying one session will be aimed at best practices to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in the classroom. By focusing on classroom activities and approaches, successful strategies can be identified that can be adopted by other institutions to minimize the “leaky pipeline” that is known to be part of the problem with retention of underrepresented groups in the geosciences. Abstracts, field guides, and short course notes will be disseminated through a dedicated website that will be publicly accessible. Continued support for the Structural Geology and Tectonics Forum contributes to the long-term health, vitality, and infrastructure of the Earth Science community. The Structural Geology and Tectonics Forum benefits society and advances desired societal outcomes by its emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education and educator development at a variety of levels, by contributing to the training of the next generation of scientists, by contributing to the broadening of underrepresented groups in STEM, and by contributing to the advancement of scientific literacy of the public. These activities contribute to the increased economic and scientific competitiveness of the United States.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.

该奖项将支持第六届构造地质学和构造论坛，该论坛将于 2020 年 6 月 15 日至 19 日在缅因州不伦瑞克的鲍登学院举行，该论坛将汇集构造地质学和构造学专家进行口头和海报演示以及实地考察。和短期课程为构造地质学和构造学界提供了交流、发展和推进教学和研究的框架。这些论坛在确定应用于构造地质学和构造学的关键教学进展和方法、构造地质学和构造学中的重要科学问题以及建立合作关系以解决这些问题方面发挥着关键作用。会议将包括为期三天的会议。研讨会将包括技术会议，涉及最近发布的社区愿景文件确定的主题，该文件强调了构造学的重要研究领域，研讨会还将确定和讨论教学进展、进展和方法，特别是它们。应用于教学构造地质学和构造学的一些学科特定挑战，并讨论构造学研究的未来方向它将通过思想和技术的交叉传播创造促进新合作的机会，并将为早期职业专业人员提供一个平台。遵循之前会议的形式，每场会议都将突出当前研究和/或教育的一个重要领域，由一位杰出的主讲人和学生主持。将展示相关工作的相关性每场会议都将安排充分的海报会议，以便在公开讨论中最大限度地交流参与者的想法。除了正式会议外，还将进行实地考察，以检查邻近地区选定区域的地质情况，重点关注现场教学的最佳实践并引导更容易进行的实地考察。 .构造地质学和构造学论坛旨在促进结构地质学界不同领域的社区建设和个人互动，它将汇集来自研究型大学、文理学院、社区和两年制学院以及少数族裔服务机构的教师。传统上代表性不足的团体以及来自两年制和四年制大学的专业人士将为 2020 年论坛的所有组委会提供多元化的代表，重要的是，将就构造地质学和构造学的关键发展以及未来进行小组讨论。研究重点应这一社区建设工作将有助于创建一个更强大、更有活力的科学家群体，并帮助向研究生和高年级本科生介绍结构地质学和构造学学科，该设置对于能够使用该学科的研究生特别有用。论坛的场地和非正式性质可以了解其他机构正在开展哪些研究，结识广泛的教师，并建立有用的联系，这对他们未来的职业生涯具有很大的价值。非正式的指导会议将为早期职业生涯提供机会。专业人士和学生在职业生涯中的导航学生将在一个友好的环境中展示自己的工作，在这里他们可以获得深思熟虑和有用的反馈，并提供建立新的科学合作的机会，该论坛的一个重要贡献将包括旨在确定一个会议的会议。旨在促进课堂公平、多样性和包容性的最佳实践 通过关注课堂活动和方法，可以确定其他机构可以采用的成功策略，以最大限度地减少已知的“泄漏管道”。保留代表性不足的群体的问题摘要、现场指南和简短课程笔记将通过一个可公开访问的专门网站传播，对构造地质学和构造论坛的持续支持有助于地球科学界的长期健康、活力和基础设施。构造地质学和构造论坛强调 STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）教育和教育工作者在各个层面上的发展，通过为培训做出贡献，从而提高社会效益和期望的社会成果通过为扩大 STEM 领域中代表性不足的群体做出贡献，并为提高公众的科学素养做出贡献，这些活动有助于提高美国的经济和科学竞争力。该奖项反映了 NSF 的贡献。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。
