This project will provide travel support for student participation in a professional development and skills-training workshop that aids their progress toward environmental geology/engineering geology careers, an area of significant national need. The Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG) is the acknowledged international leader in environmental and engineering geology and is greatly respected for its stewardship of the profession. AEG offers information on environmental and engineering geology useful to practitioners, scientists, students, and the public. To increase awareness of AEG and the career pathways AEG supports, a 1-day, pre-meeting workshop and virtual field trip will be convened at the Geological Society of America - GSA Connects 2023 annual meeting in Pittsburgh, PA. The effort will target student-scholars of GSA’s On To the Future program. OTF student-scholars will learn about the benefits of AEG membership with respect to professional skills training, acquiring professional capital, developing professional networks, and advancing altruistic environmental geology/engineering geology careers. The Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG), a member of the NSF-sponsored Geosciences ASCEND Research Coordination Network, is hosting an Applied Geosciences Career Discussion and Virtual Field Trip (VFT) during the Geological Society of America GSA Connects 2023 annual meeting in Pittsburgh, PA on Saturday, 14 October 2023. The focus of the workshop is investigating and understanding landslides and mitigating landslide hazards. This event is an accessible, day-long pre-meeting workshop developed for GSA On To the Future (OTF) student-scholars to introduce them to career opportunities in applied geosciences. The workshop provides career information and skills-oriented professional development via a virtual field trip to examine prominent landslides in the Pittsburgh area. AEG facilitators will share career advice with OTF scholars and develop research skills by exploring the notable geological sites in and around Pittsburgh.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.

该项目将为学生参加专业发展和技能培训研讨会提供差旅支持，以帮助他们在环境地质学/工程地质职业方面取得进展，这是国家环境与工程地质学家协会（AEG）的重大需求领域。 AEG 是环境和工程地质学领域公认的国际领导者，因其对行业的管理而受到高度尊重，为从业者、科学家、学生和公众提供有用的环境和工程地质学信息，以提高 AEG 和职业道路的认识。支持，一个美国地质学会 - GSA Connects 2023 年年会将于宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行，为期 1 天的会前研讨会和虚拟实地考察将针对 GSA OTF 学生学者。学者们将了解 AEG 会员资格在专业技能培训、获得专业资本、发展专业网络和推进利他环境地质/工程地质职业方面的好处。 (AEG) 是 NSF 赞助的地球科学 ASCEND 研究协调网络的成员，将于 14 日星期六在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的美国地质学会 GSA Connects 2023 年年会上举办应用地球科学职业讨论和虚拟实地考察 (VFT) 2023 年 10 月。研讨会的重点是调查和了解山体滑坡以及减轻山体滑坡危害。该活动是一个为期一天的会前研讨会，专为开展活动而设计。 GSA On To the Future (OTF) 学生学者将通过虚拟实地考察向他们介绍应用地球科学领域的职业机会，并提供以技能为导向的专业发展，AEG 协调员将分享这些信息。向 OTF 学者提供职业建议，并通过探索匹兹堡及其周边地区的地质遗址来发展研究技能。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。
