Earth Systems Science (40). SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) is promoting polar science and education among Native American and other underrepresented minority (URM) communities by adding a polar science dimension to its annual conferences. The 2008-2010 IPY-themed national conferences are using polar scientists as keynote speakers, guides for scientific symposia, and structured mentors for students. URM participation in the conferences is being encouraged by targeted travel grant programs. Minority students are being: exposed to role models with similar backgrounds who are leaders in polar science and can advise on career options; alerted to internship opportunities; connected to URM student social networks; and advised on effective leadership skills to navigate the scientific enterprise. A host of supporting activities includes the use of SACNAS' Minority Postdoctoral Community as an online resource for peer-to-peer mentoring. The project is using ongoing assessment and evaluation to improve its effectiveness in recruiting URM into polar science as well as in creating a bridge between the scientific community and the traditional knowledge and values of Tribal leaders. The broader impact of this project includes increased URM participation in polar science, educating URM on the issues of polar science and climate change on human communities, and improving URM understanding of the role of the Polar Regions in global processes.

地球系统科学（40）.美国科学促进会（Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science，简称SACNAS）通过在其年度会议上增加极地科学的内容，在美国原住民和其他代表性不足的少数民族（URM）社区中促进极地科学和教育。 2008-2010年以国际极地年为主题的国家会议正在使用极地科学家作为主旨发言人，科学研讨会的指南和学生的结构导师。 有针对性的旅行赠款方案鼓励城市资源管理组织参加会议。少数民族学生：接触具有相似背景的榜样，他们是极地科学的领导者，可以为职业选择提供建议;提醒实习机会;连接到URM学生社交网络;并建议有效的领导技能，以驾驭科学企业。 一系列支持活动包括利用SACNAS的少数民族博士后社区作为同行指导的在线资源。 该项目正在利用持续的评估和评价来提高其在招募URM参与极地科学以及在科学界与部落领导人的传统知识和价值观之间建立桥梁方面的有效性。该项目的更广泛影响包括增加城市资源管理组织参与极地科学，教育城市资源管理组织了解极地科学和气候变化对人类社区的影响，并提高城市资源管理组织对极地地区在全球进程中的作用的理解。
