Collaborative Research AGeS2 Awards Geochronology

项目摘要

Geochronology is profoundly important in Earth science research. Geochronology data are required to quantitatively resolve the 4th dimension of time inherent in Earth science, and are increasingly necessary to conduct modern, cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research. The growing geochronology need is accompanied by strong demands to broaden community access to geochronology data, enhance the ability of laboratories to meet this pressure, and increase community awareness of how these data are produced and interpreted. The AGeS (Awards for Geochronology Student research) program provides opportunities for graduate students to develop the scientific rationale for projects involving geochronology, and then provides them with hands-on experience actually acquiring data in labs, all while being mentored by geochronologists. This project will grow AGeS2 into a wider cross-disciplinary initiative to further enhance access to geochronology data, promote geochronology training, and stimulate new synergistic science. AGeS2 is aimed at 1) democratizing access to geochronology, 2) educating users of geochronology data, 3) promoting synergistic science by fostering new relationships between labs and other disciplines, and 4) providing strategic, high-quality, scientifically-valuable geochronology data for projects in which both users and producers of the data are intellectually engaged. It doubles the annual award funding for graduate student geochronology projects. A new partnership with the Geological Society of America (GSA) will allow successful management of this broader effort. AGeS2 will take advantage of new opportunities for cohort- and community building afforded by the program's popularity to maximize the educational and scientific outcomes of AGeS investments. These activities will include regular teleconferences with each year's AGeS student cohorts and two AGeS gatherings prior to the national GSA meeting. Ongoing student-lab-advisor interactions will be encouraged throughout the typical 2 year AGeS project duration to further promote project success.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

地质年代学在地球科学研究中具有重要意义。地质年代学数据需要定量地解决地球科学中固有的第四维时间，并且越来越需要进行现代，尖端，跨学科的研究。随着对地质年代学的需求不断增长，人们强烈要求扩大社区获得地质年代学数据的机会，提高实验室应对这一压力的能力，并提高社区对这些数据是如何产生和解释的认识。AGeS（地质年代学学生研究奖）计划为研究生提供机会，为涉及地质年代学的项目制定科学依据，然后为他们提供实际在实验室获取数据的实践经验，同时由地质年代学家指导。该项目将使AGeS 2发展成为一个更广泛的跨学科倡议，以进一步加强对地质年代学数据的获取，促进地质年代学培训，并刺激新的协同科学。AGeS 2的目标是：1）使地质年代学的访问民主化，2）教育地质年代学数据的用户，3）通过培养实验室和其他学科之间的新关系来促进协同科学，以及4）为数据的用户和生产者都在智力上参与的项目提供战略，高质量，具有科学价值的地质年代学数据。它将研究生地质年代学项目的年度奖励资金增加一倍。与美国地质学会（GSA）的新伙伴关系将使这一更广泛的努力得到成功的管理。AGeS 2将利用该计划的普及所提供的队列和社区建设的新机会，最大限度地提高AGeS投资的教育和科学成果。这些活动将包括定期电话会议与每年的AGeS学生群体和两个AGeS聚会之前，全国GSA会议。持续的学生-实验室-顾问互动将在整个典型的2年AGeS项目持续时间内得到鼓励，以进一步促进项目的成功。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
