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）中吸取科学讨论和专业发展元素。申请人可以来自海洋地质学和海洋地球物理学的任何分支领域。研讨会的参与者可以是沉积地质学家、地球化学家、海洋地球物理学家、微生物学家、海洋地震学家、古海洋学家、构造物理学家、火山学家、水文地质学家或火成岩岩石学家。将成立一个遴选小组，负责挑选在各自领域处于前沿的科学家，参与引人注目的研究，并希望拓宽他们对科学如何与政策、媒体和公众相互作用的看法。研讨会将限于25名早期职业研究人员，受邀参加是高成就的标志。这个小组将足够大，可以有来自每个学科的几个代表，但也足够小，可以建立密切的关系，形成一个队列。将特别关注多样性，包括在项目的规划和营销中努力吸引来自美国的代表性不足的群体。研讨会也将向来自美国以外的科学家开放（约20%）。更广泛的影响研讨会的目标是提高早期职业科学家进入海洋地球科学家社区的效率。通过有针对性地培训课堂和实验室以外的技能，这些早期职业研究人员可以成为社区的领导者，并为具有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.
