The Geosciences are one of the least diverse of the sciences, and representative voices and stakeholders are needed as the discipline navigates scientific and societal issues of national concern. The Advancing Geosciences’ Cultural Change in Access, Diversity, and Inclusion via History of Geology and Environmental Justice project (ADI Geo-History) supports participation of students with diverse identities by engaging them in the history of Earth Sciences from non-traditional perspectives. The Geological Society of America (GSA) and the History of Earth Sciences Society (HESS) collaborate to involve students from historically excluded groups in their professional societies, increasing not only students’ participation in the Geosciences, but also broadening the culture of the respective societies. ADI Geo-History recruits college students with diverse identities and supports their participation in the Geological Society of America annual conference, with accompanying field excursions that focus on exposing full histories of resource extraction and its impact on humans and the landscape. Students will experience virtual mentoring sessions before and after the conference with professional geoscientists of diverse identities. Following GSA, student scholars will prepare outreach materials for their home institutions based on what they have learned through their conference participation and fieldtrip experience. ADI Geo-History delivers a proof-of-concept to engage Geosciences-associated professional societies in activities that promote diversity and diversify society membership with the intention to expand this effort in the near future. The Advancing Geosciences’ Cultural Change in Access, Diversity, and Inclusion via History of Geology and Environmental Justice project (ADI Geo-History) is a 2-year planning effort emerging from the Geosciences ASCEND RCN (NSF #2037271) and spearheaded by the History of Earth Sciences Society (HESS), an affiliated Geological Society of America (GSA) society. The proposed effort conceptualizes a sustained initiative to diversify the HESS membership and encourage participation of diverse identities in documenting and telling the history of Earth Science from non-traditional perspectives. For this effort, the PIs will implement experimental field trips/short courses and sessions for the 2023/2024 GSA Connects annual meetings (Pittsburgh, PA; Anaheim, CA), and engage students with diverse identities to focus on acknowledging, understanding, and accurately portraying the history of resource extraction and the legacy of extractive activities in the geosciences. ADI Geo-History will demonstrate a proof-of-concept to engage Geosciences-associated professional societies in activities that promote diversity and diversify society membership. As such, Geosciences-associated societies become active agents in developing their diversity profile, build social capital among diverse communities, broaden professional networks, and welcome diverse perspectives into professional societies.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.

地球科学是最不多样化的科学之一，在该学科探讨国家关注的科学和社会问题时，需要有代表性的声音和利益相关者。通过地质学和环境史推进地球科学在获取、多样性和包容性方面的文化变革。正义项目（ADI 地球历史）支持具有不同身份的学生从非传统角度参与地球科学史。美国地质学会 (GSA) 和地球科学史学会 (HESS)。合作让历史上被排除在外的群体的学生加入他们的专业协会，不仅增加了学生对地球科学的参与，而且扩大了各自协会的文化，ADI 地球历史招收具有不同身份的大学生并支持他们参与地质科学。美国学会年会，以及伴随的实地考察，重点是揭示资源开采的完整历史及其对人类和景观的影响。在会议之前和之后，学生将与不同身份的专业地球科学家一起体验虚拟指导课程。学者们将准备基于他们通过会议参加和实地考察经验所学到的知识，为他们的所在机构提供了宣传材料，提供了概念验证，以吸引地球科学相关的专业协会参与促进多样性和社会成员多元化的活动。通过地质历史和环境正义项目（ADI Geo-History）推进地球科学的文化变革，是地球科学的一项为期两年的规划工作。 ASCEND RCN（NSF #2037271）由美国地质学会 (GSA) 附属学会地球科学史学会 (HESS) 牵头。拟议的努力构想了一项持续倡议，旨在使 HESS 成员多元化并鼓励不同身份的人参与其中。从非传统角度记录和讲述地球科学的历史 为此，PI 将在 2023/2024 年实施实验实地考察/短期课程和会议。 GSA Connects 年会（宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡；加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆），让具有不同身份的学生关注可接受、理解和准确描述资源开采的历史以及地球科学中开采活动的遗产。展示一个概念验证，让地球科学相关专业协会参与促进多样性和社会成员多元化的活动，因此，地球科学相关协会成为发展其多样性形象、在不同社区中建立社会资本、扩大专业范围的积极推动者。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
