项目摘要

Geoscience training is interdisciplinary and includes all of the core sciences because the value of diverse perspectives is well recognized when designing geoscience curricula. However, geoscience departments have fallen short in attempts to extend that quality to the people who make geoscience happen. The geosciences are the least ethnically and racially diverse of all science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. This lack of diversity holds back geoscience innovation and threatens the supply of geoscientists available to meet workforce demands in the coming years. Moreover, geoscientists will play critical roles in helping solve some of society’s biggest challenges including challenges related to climate, water, and energy, and diverse perspectives are needed to develop equitable solutions to these challenges. This award asks the main question: can geoscience student diversity be increased in agricultural landscapes through participation in a co-curricular program of groundwater quality monitoring? This award will provide training in groundwater and geospatial sciences to 54 undergraduate students from diverse rural communities in Kansas. It will help the students see the value of geoscience to their lives and help ensure that a diverse geoscience workforce will be available to meet the needs of a region that depends heavily on the availability of quality groundwater.To address the overarching question (i.e., can geoscience student diversity be increased in agricultural landscapes through participation in a co-curricular program of groundwater quality monitoring), this award will create a geoscience recruiting network between a university and two community colleges and use it to introduce students from diverse backgrounds to geoscience through co-curricular research on groundwater, a critical resource for the students’ home communities. Student participants will form three-person teams, consisting of one student from each partnering institution and will participate in a variety of technical and professional development activities. The project's primary goals are to increase the interest in geoscience disciplines as well as the experiences of students from historically excluded communities in the geosciences. The program will connect geoscience research to careers, while simultaneously addressing lack of exposure, sense of belonging, and financial stress for students who are nearing a critical transition to a four-year university. By testing and refining this program, this project will create a roadmap for recruiting diverse students from rural communities across the midcontinent.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.
地球科学培训是跨学科的,包括所有核心科学,因为在设计地球科学课程时,不同观点的价值得到了充分认可。然而,地球科学部门未能将这种质量扩展到那些使地球科学不受种族和种族影响的人身上。科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域的多样性阻碍了地球科学的创新,并威胁到未来几年满足劳动力需求的地球科学家的供应。地球科学家将在帮助解决一些社会最大挑战(包括与气候、水和能源相关的挑战)方面发挥关键作用,并且需要多元化的视角来制定应对这些挑战的公平解决方案。该奖项提出的主要问题是:能否增加地球科学学生的多样性。通过参与地下水质量监测的课外项目,该奖项将为来自堪萨斯州不同农村社区的 54 名本科生提供地下水和地理空间科学方面的培训,这将帮助学生了解地球科学对其生活的价值。并帮助确保多样化的地球科学劳动力能够满足严重依赖优质地下水供应的地区的需求。 -地下水质量监测课程计划),该奖项将在一所大学和两所社区学院之间建立一个地球科学招聘网络,并利用该网络通过地下水的课外研究向来自不同背景的学生介绍地球科学,地下水是学生的重要资源学生参与者将组成三人团队,由来自每个合作机构的一名学生组成,并将参加各种技术和专业发展活动,该项目的主要目标是提高对地球科学学科的兴趣和经验。该项目将地球科学研究与职业联系起来,同时缺乏对即将进入四年制大学关键过渡的学生的接触、归属感和经济压力的解决方案。并完善这个计划,这个项目将制定一个路线图,用于招募来自中大陆农村社区的多元化学生。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。
