Our Mission: To provide foundational support for all aspects of the land-grant mission of Auburn University through (1) impactful courses and curricula, (2) forefront research that advances the mathematical, physical, and life sciences, and (3) outreach and service programs that improve the lives of citizens of Alabama, the nation, and the world. The Department of Geosciences is committed to promoting a diverse, inclusive, and equitable university community where we can learn and thrive without fear of discrimination based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnic background, nationality, economic status, and/or disability.
We believe acceptance and inclusion of diverse students and faculty is integral to the success and well-being of our students and to achieving overall academic excellence within our discipline. Our Programs: Auburn University’s NSF Research Traineeship Program on Climate Resiliency-Our NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program aims to train the next generation of scientists and leaders who can help build resilient communities that are prepared for, can effectively respond to, and quickly recover from damaging hazard events in the southeastern United States. This NRT project values inclusion and diversity, outreach and effective communication, actionable science, and engagement of communities and stakeholders for sustainable climate resilience solutions. We have funded and unfunded NSF trainee positions available. Applications are accepted now through Jan 4, 2021. The Graduate Diversity Campus Experience (DiCE) is an annual event hosted by the Black Graduate Student and Professional Student Association (BGPSA) in collaboration with the Office of Inclusion and Diversity. This program has been helping individuals interested in pursuing graduate studies for more than 5 years and continues to grow every year. DiCE seeks to identify highly qualified and competitive students from underrepresented groups to encourage them to pursue graduate degrees in their academic field. Program attendees will have the opportunity to interact with current graduate students and faculty members from their program of interest while exploring Auburn’s campus and community. Participants will attend workshops that will provide them with the skills and resources needed to help strengthen their graduate school application packet, while participating in such professional development as mock interviews and a review of their personal statement. Applications will open February 2021 for Fall 2021 For more info: |

Studying Global Climate and Environmental Change: Causes, Impacts, and Solutions Our Mission: To contribute through research and teaching to a fundamental scientific understanding of the Earth as a coupled system, to train the next generation of Earth scientists, and to inform and educate policy makers and the public-at-large. We envision a society that understands the impact of human activities on the global environment and the interactions within the Earth system that preserve the habitability of the planet. Session Overview: Earth System Science (ESS) is a highly interdisciplinary field that focuses on how the atmosphere, land, oceans, cryosphere, and life interact as a system. Faculty and students in the Department of Earth System Science at UC Irvine, the first ESS department in the nation, study a wide range of topics from how climate change will impact sea level, ecosystems, and extreme weather events to how human systems, such as agriculture and energy, are likely to impact and be impacted by global environmental change. Furthermore, ESS is committed to environmental and climate justice, to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion of minorities in STEM, and we stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. In this session, we’ll provide an overview of student opportunities in the ESS Department at UCI, highlight some of the programs that make UCI a national leader for inclusive excellence, and leave plenty of time for Q & A. Degrees we offer: B.S. in Earth System Science B.A. in Environmental Science and Policy PhD in Earth System Science (Fully funded!)

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports basic research to create knowledge that transforms the future. NSF provides support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, excluding medical sciences, to keep the United States at the leading edge of discovery in areas from astronomy to geology to zoology. In addition to funding research, NSF also supports the future of science by providing direct and indirect funding for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels to prepare a diverse and globally engaged STEM workforce.
Within NSF, the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) supports research spanning the Atmospheric, Earth, Ocean, and Polar sciences. GEO supports basic research that improves our understanding of the many processes that affect the global environment. These processes include the role of the atmosphere and oceans in climate, the planetary water cycle, and ocean acidification. NSF staff are looking forward to talking with attendees during NABG's Exhibitor Showcase and Virtual Happy Hour. Please stop by our virtual exhibit booth to talk with Program Officers.
