Marine Geoscience Leadership Initiative: A New Leadership Symposium for Early Career Researchers

海洋领导将组织一个研讨会，海洋地球科学领导倡议（MGLI）旨在从以前举行的论文研讨会，如DISCO，PODS，DIALOG等中汲取科学讨论和专业发展元素。研讨会的参与者可以是沉积地质学家，地球化学家，海洋生物学家，微生物学家，海洋地震学家，古海洋学家，构造地质学家，火山学家，水文地质学家或火成岩学家，将成立一个选拔小组，负责选择科学家在各自领域的前沿，参与引人注目的研究，并希望扩大他们对科学如何与政策，媒体，及公众研讨会将限于25名早期职业研究人员，邀请参加是高成就的标志。这个小组将足够大，每个学科都有几个代表，但又足够小，能够建立密切的关系，形成一个群体。将特别注意多样性与努力包括在计划的规划和营销，以吸引来自美国的代表性不足的群体。研讨会也将开放给来自美国以外的科学家（约20%）。更广泛的影响研讨会的目标是提高早期职业科学家的有效性，因为他们进入海洋地球科学家的社区。通过有针对性的技能培训，延伸到课堂和实验室之外，这些早期的职业研究人员可以成为他们社区的领导者，并为地球科学素养的公众做出贡献。与会者将受到启发，参与科学规划，并与媒体和决策者交谈，进一步扩大研讨会的影响。

Ocean Leadership will organize a symposium, the Marine Geoscience Leadership Initiative (MGLI) intended to draw the science discussion and professional development elements from those of previously held dissertation symposia, such as DISCO, PODS, DIALOG, etc. Applicants may be from any subfield of marine geology and marine geophysics. The symposium participants could be sedimentary geologists, geochemists, marine geophysicists, microbiologists, marine seismologists, paleooceanographers, tectonophysicists, volcanologists, hydrogeologists, or igneous petrologists, A selection panel will be formed and charged with selecting scientists on the cutting-edge of their fields, involved in compelling research, and who want to broaden their view of how science interacts with policy, the media, and the public. The symposium will be limited to 25 early career researchers, with invitation to participate being a sign of high achievement. The group will be large enough to have several representatives from each discipline, yet small enough to enable close relationships and form a cohort. Special attention will be paid to diversity with efforts included in the planning and marketing of the program to attract under-represented groups from the U.S. The symposium will also be open to scientists from outside the U.S. (approximately 20%).Broader ImpactsThe goal of the symposium is to increase the effectiveness of early career cientists as they enter the community of marine geoscientists. Through targeted training in skills that extend beyond the classroom and laboratory, these early career researchers can become leaders in their communities and contribute to a geoscience-literate public. Participants will be inspired to become involved in science planning and speaking with the media and with policy makers, further expanding the impact of the symposium.
