9729087 Bierly Several research studies by governmental and private groups have addressed the changing research climate in the U.S. and also the changing education environment at all levels, K-12 through post-graduate. These documents all describe an academic environment in rapid transition with an emerging common theme, the need for a closer integration of research and education. Opportunities exist for restructuring or redirecting these programs in Earth and Space Sciences. The American Geophysical Union proposes to convene a meeting of the Heads and Chairs of Earth and Space Science Departments on "Support for Education and Research in the Earth and Space Sciences" on November 7-9, 1997 at the AGU building, 2000 Florida Ave., N.W., Washington, D. C. This meeting will provide a forum for exchange of information and recommendations for the future of these sciences. It will be the first such meeting of Heads and Chairs. AGU anticipates convening these meetings on a biennial basis. Heads and Chairs of academic programs offering undergraduate degrees in the Earth and space sciences will be invited to participate. Earth and space science is broadly defined to include atmospheric sciences, geochemistry, geology, geophysics, earth sciences, hydrology, oceanography, aeronomy and space physics, and closely allied disciplines. Goals include: 1) addressing the "integration of research and undergraduate education" in the context of the Earth and Space Sciences, especially as reflected in two recent reports of the Directorate of Geosciences, National Science Foundation; 2) responding to observations and recommendations regarding undergraduate education as detailed in the recent AGU May 1997 report on the NSF funded workshop at AGU, November, 1996; and 3) recommending priorities in undergraduate education to the AGU and other scientific and science education societies in the Earth and Space Sciences and to federal, state and local funding agencies.

小行星9729087 政府和私人团体的几项研究探讨了美国不断变化的研究气候以及各级不断变化的教育环境， 从K12到研究生 这些文件都描述了一个快速转型的学术环境，一个新兴的共同主题，需要更紧密地结合研究和教育。 存在重组或重新定向地球和空间科学中这些项目的机会。 美国地球物理学联合会建议于1997年11月7日至9日在佛罗里达大街2000号AGU大楼召开一次关于“支持地球和空间科学教育和研究”的地球和空间科学系主任和系主任会议，西北部，华盛顿，D. C. 这次会议将提供一个论坛，交流信息，并为这些科学的未来提出建议。 这将是第一次这样的首脑和主席会议。 AGU预计每两年召开一次这些会议。 将邀请提供地球和空间科学本科学位的学术方案的负责人和主席参加。 地球和空间科学的定义很广，包括大气科学、地球化学、地质学、地球物理学、地球科学、水文学、海洋学、高层大气物理学和空间物理学以及密切相关的学科。 目标包括：1）在地球和空间科学的背景下解决“研究和本科教育的一体化”，特别是反映在地球科学理事会，国家科学基金会最近的两份报告中; 2）回应关于本科教育的意见和建议，详细说明在最近的AGU 1997年5月关于NSF资助的讲习班的报告，AGU，1996年11月; 3）向AGU和地球与空间科学领域的其他科学和科学教育协会以及联邦、州和地方资助机构推荐本科教育的优先事项。
