OEDG: South Bay Geo-Diversity Project

该奖项将建立南湾地质多样性项目(SBGDP)，这是一个多方面、多层次的倡议，旨在增加未被充分代表的群体对地球科学教育和研究的参与。SBGDP的主要目标是1)为圣何塞州立大学MESA(数学、工程、科学成就)计划相关学校的初中和高中教师提供专业发展研讨会；2)为MESA计划中代表性较低的初中生提供地球科学方面的暑期丰富活动；3)让选定的大学生参与研究项目合作伙伴。本科生将从圣何塞城市学院和国立西班牙裔大学以及圣何塞州立大学招收，以加强地区合作。在学生研究部分，学生将在旧金山州立大学地质系的一名教员的直接指导下，对旧金山湾区南部关键地区的地质、地貌或新构造进行实地研究。学生们将在美国地质调查局主办的开放参观活动和美国地质学会的分会上展示他们的发现。该项目将由上海交通大学教育学院的教职员工和学生进行评估。

REVISED ABSTRACTThis award will establish the South Bay Geo-Diversity Project (SBGDP), a multifaceted, multilevel initiative to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in geoscience education and research. The primary objectives of the SBGDP are to 1) offer professional development workshops for middle- and high-school teachers from schools associated with San Jose State University's MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) Program; 2) to provide summer enrichment activities in the geosciences for underrepresented middle- and high-school students in the MESA program; 3) to involve selected college students in research projects partner. Undergraduates will be recruited from San Jose City College and National Hispanic University as well as from San Jose State University to enhance regional collaboration.In the student-research component, students will work under the direct supervision of a faculty member of the SJSU Geology Department on a field-based study of the geology, geomorphology, or neotectonics of key areas in the southern San Francisco Bay region. Students will present their findings at Open House events hosted by the U. S. Geological Survey and at a section meeting of the Geological Society of America. The project will be evaluated by faculty and students from SJSU's College of Education.
