GeoSCOPE - Exploring Geoscience Career Opportunities

摘要geoscope -探索地球科学职业机会geoscope（地球科学职业机会探索）将在佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）地球科学系（一个少数民族服务机构）与FIU本科生、迈阿密-戴德社区大学学生和迈阿密-戴德县高中教师之间建立长期、自我维持的联系。该项目将通过研讨会和带薪实习的方式，向早期职业生涯的FIU和迈阿密-戴德社区大学学生（其中70%以上来自地球科学领域代表性不足的群体）提供地球科学职业机会。它还将通过每年一次的研讨会向高中教师介绍当地地球科学机构、私营公司和FIU部门研究的工作，向他们介绍地球科学的职业机会。从佛罗里达国际大学和迈阿密-戴德社区学院低级别科学和工程班招收的本科生将参加暑期研讨会，重点介绍系教师所做的有趣和有专业前景的研究领域。例如：1)南佛罗里达州的应用水文地质学；2)佛罗里达群岛环境地质；3)南佛罗里达和加勒比海地区的地质，它们都有重要的野外成分；4)地理信息系统在地球科学中的应用；5)矿物地球科学，这是基于技术的。讲习班结束后，学生将在该部门和当地合作机构（如美国地质调查局（USGS）、迈阿密-戴德资源管理部（DERM）和南佛罗里达水管理区（SFWMD））内从事带薪实习工作。选择地球科学专业并完成后续一年课程的学生将获得第二个暑期实习机会，其中包括更强的研究成分。最终，这些学生有望完全融入正在进行的资助地球科学学院的研究。

ABSTRACTGeoSCOPE - Exploring Geoscience Career OpportunitiesGeoSCOPE (GeoScience Career OPportunity Exploration) will build long-term, self-sustaining linkages between the Department of Earth Sciences at Florida International University (FIU), a Minority Serving Institution, and beginning FIU undergraduates, Miami-Dade community college students, and Miami-Dade County high school teachers. The project will expose early career FIU and Miami-Dade community college students, over 70% of whom are from groups under-represented in the geosciences, to geoscience career opportunities, through workshops and paid internships. It will also inform high school teachers about geoscience career opportunities, through a yearly workshop highlighting the work of local geoscience agencies, private firms and departmental research at FIU. Undergraduate students, recruited from lower division science and engineering classes at FIU and at Miami-Dade Community College will participate in summer workshops highlighting interesting and professionally promising areas of research done by department faculty. Examples are: 1) Applied Hydrogeology in South Florida; 2) Environmental Geology of the Florida Keys; and 3) Geology of South Florida and the Caribbean, all of which have a significant field component; and 4) Applications of GIS in the Geosciences and 5) Mineral Geoscience, which are technology based. Following the workshops, students will be employed in paid internships, both within the department and cooperating local agencies, such as the United States Geologic Survey (USGS), Miami-Dade Department of Resource Management (DERM) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Students who choose a geoscience major, and complete one subsequent year of coursework, will receive a second summer internship with a stronger research component. Ultimately, such students are expected to become fully integrated into on-going funded Earth Science faculty research.
