The AGU Biogeosciences Section’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee will hold a webinar to prepare potential nominators and nominees for AGU honors (medals, awards, prizes, fellowship and lectures) with the knowledge and skills they need to put together an outstanding packet. LaToya Myles, the Chair of the AGU Honors & Recognition Committee, will present an overview of the AGU Honors program, after which 2021 Hilker Early Career Award winner Jennifer Glass and AGU Fellow Ariel Anbar will walk participants through the crafting of a CV, publication list, and letters of recommendation.
Despite the inherent complexity of water availability, the hydrologic cycle has historically been studied from narrow disciplinary perspectives, often isolated from societal context. Addressing the challenge of water availability requires understanding the issues holistically, bringing together the pieces of the puzzle held by different disciplinary perspectives. Our Chapman conference will uncover and make explicit divergent views, assumptions, data types, and research methods that make integration difficult.
The AGU Michael H. Freilich Student Visualization Competition Program provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate creative ways to use visualization to present complex problems in the Earth and space sciences as well as transdisciplinary sciences.
In our sixth webinar of 2022, “Biochar and Enhanced Weathering,” we will discuss two emerging soil sequestration technologies with leading U.S. experts. Dr. Johannes Lehmann (Cornell University) will discuss the path ahead for biochar utilization. Dr. Dan Maxbauer (Carleton College) will describe the technical potential for crushed silicate rocks to sequester CO2 through enhanced mineral weathering.
The purpose of this Chapman is to bring together scientists to discuss, develop, and test conceptual models of distributed volcanism. Focus by the scientific community is especially important now because of continuing growth of cities, communities, and critical infrastructure within sparsely monitored volcanic fields.
Work at the science and society interface benefits from increased awareness of, and research in, how to share science, collaborate with inspire the arts, inform policy making, and effectively work with communities and decision makers. During this event, we will hear from leading scholars in Community and Citizen Science, followed by a facilitated discussion.
The AGU Bridge Program is an asset to institutions seeking to increase diversity in their departments and the larger geosciences community. By working together, we can create a more welcoming environment in the Earth and space sciences for everyone.
