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2020年6月15日至19日在缅因州不伦瑞克省的鲍登学院举行的第六个双年展结构地质和构造论坛。该论坛将召集口头和海报演示，实地考察和短期课程的结构地质和构造学专家。结构地质与构造计划为结构地质和构造学界提供了一个框架，以在教育者和研究人员之间进行交流，发展和提高教学和研究。这些论坛在确定用于结构地质和构造学，结构地质和构造中的重要科学问题的关键教学进步和方法中起着关键作用，同时启动了协作关系以解决这些问题。会议将包括为期三天的演讲，其中包括技术会议，这些会议涉及由最近发表的社区愿景文档确定的主题，该文档强调了构造学的重要研究领域。研讨会还将识别和讨论教学进步，进步和方法，特别是它们适用于教授结构地质和构造学的一些学科特定挑战，并讨论了构造研究中的未来方向。它将通过交叉授粉的思想和技术创造机会来促进新的合作，并为早期的职业专业人士和学生提供一个平台，这些平台在其专业发展的关键阶段支持和促进其职业。按照先前的会议格式，每个会议将突出当前研究和/或教育的重要领域，该领域将由杰出的主题演讲者锚定，并将展示工作与该主题的相关性。每次会议都会参加，有充足的参与互动时间的海报会话。在公开讨论中，将组织论坛以最大程度地提高参与者之间的思想交流。会议将提供足够的机会来提出个别演示者的问题，评估我们的知识的当前状态，并考虑生产领域以供未来的研究。除了正式会议外，还将进行实地考察，以检查相邻地区选定地区的地质，这些地质将集中在现场教学的最佳实践上，并带领更容易获得的实地考察。结构地质与构造论坛旨在在结构地质社区的不同部分内寄养社区建设和个人互动。它将汇集研究大学，文科学院，社区和两年学院以及少数派服务机构的教师。鉴定为传统代表性不足的团体以及来自两年和四年制大学的专业人士的议员将在2020年论坛的所有组织委员会中提供潜水员的代表。重要的是，将在结构地质和构造方面的关键发展以及未来的研究优先事项上进行小组讨论。这项社区建设的努力将有助于建立一个更强大，更充满活力的科学家群体，并有助于向研究生和高级本科生介绍结构地质和构造学科。该设置对于研究生将特别有用，他们将能够利用论坛的场地和非正式性质来找出其他机构正在进行的研究，遇到广泛的教职员工，并建立有用的联系，这对他们未来的职业将具有很高的价值。非正式的心理课程将为早期职业专业人员和学生从事结构地质和构造学领域的导航职业中的最爱机会。学生将在友好的环境中展示自己的作品，在那里他们可以获得周到且有用的反馈，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一场旨在确定一场会议的会议，将采取最佳实践，以促进课堂上的公平，多样性和包容性。通过专注于课堂活动和方法，可以确定成功的策略可以被其他机构采用，以最大程度地减少“漏水管道”，而“漏水管道”已知是地球科学中代表性不足的群体保留不足的群体的一部分。摘要，现场指南和简短课程笔记将通过专用网站进行传播，该网站将公开访问。对结构地质和构造论坛的持续支持为地球科学界的长期健康，活力和基础设施做出了贡献。结构地质与构造论坛论坛通过强调STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学和数学）教育和教育发展，从而使社会成果受益于社会成果，从而在各个层面上，通过为下一代科学家的培训做出贡献，通过为STEM中不足的群体的扩大，以及为科学范围的公开范围贡献较少的群体而做出贡献。这些活动有助于美国提高的经济和科学竞争力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估。
