The National Association of Black Geoscientists (NABG) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) will host a joint student-centered conference. The two organizations will host a technical conference with the theme “Geosciences United: Collaborating for a Sustainable and Equitable Future at the 42nd NABG Annual Technical Conference”. Requested support will defray registration, travel and subsistence expenses of approximately forty student participants. The conference will be held at the AGU headquarters in Washington D.C. on 27-30 September 2023 as a hybrid event (in-person and virtual). The PIs expect that this conference will attract attendees representing many of the federal agencies because of its central location at AGU headquarters in Washington, DC. In addition, the PIs will actively recruit a national cadre of students from minority serving institutions (MSIs) and other institutions who are majoring in geoscience disciplines representing atmospheric sciences, geoscience, marine sciences, and environmental sciences. Students will present research and participate in other activities of the conference. The objective is to expand the disciplinary representation of NABG to include more students from MSIs interested in the broader disciplines of Geosciences and to build new relationships to unite geosciences disciplines.During the past year, land-falling hurricanes and extreme drought/extreme flooding, and wildfires directly impacted the U.S. Thus, the relevance of atmospheric and environmental sciences to NABG members and their employers presents obvious opportunities to broaden the disciplinary areas of NABG while also engaging a broader audience of scholars and students in these disciplines. This meeting builds on successful efforts to improve the diversity of the geoscience workforce since 2009 and serves as an opportunity for academic institutions, government agencies, and the energy/environmental industry to recruit students from underrepresented groups to STEM disciplines and employment in the national geosciences workforce.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.

全国黑人地球科学家协会（NABG）和美国地球物理联盟（AGU）将主办一次以学生为中心的联合会议，这两个组织将举办主题为“地球科学联合：为可持续和公平的未来而合作”的技术会议。第 42 届 NABG 年度技术会议”。请求的支持将支付大约 40 名学生参加者的注册费、旅费和生活费。该会议将于 2017 年在华盛顿特区的 AGU 总部举行。 2023 年 9 月 27 日至 30 日，作为一次混合活动（现场和虚拟），由于本次会议位于华盛顿特区的 AGU 总部中心，因此 PI 预计将吸引代表许多联邦机构的与会者。将积极从少数民族服务机构（MSI）和其他代表大气科学、地球科学、海洋科学和环境科学等地球科学学科的机构中招募国家骨干学生，学生将进行研究并参与其他研究。会议活动的目标是扩大 NABG 的学科代表性，以吸引更多来自 MSI 对更广泛的地球科学学科感兴趣的学生，并建立新的关系以统一地球科学学科。在过去的一年中，登陆飓风和极端干旱。 /极端洪水和野火直接影响美国。因此，大气和环境科学与 NABG 成员及其雇主的相关性为扩大 NABG 的学科领域提供了明显的机会，同时也吸引了更广泛的学者受众本次会议建立在自 2009 年以来为改善地球科学劳动力多样性所做的成功努力的基础上，并为学术机构、政府机构和能源/环境行业从代表性不足的群体中招收学生进入 STEM 学科和领域提供了机会。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。
