The Geosciences are one of the least diverse of the sciences, and representative voices and stakeholders are needed as the discipline navigates scientific and societal issues of national concern. The Advancing Geosciences’ Cultural Change in Access, Diversity, and Inclusion via History of Geology and Environmental Justice project (ADI Geo-History) supports participation of students with diverse identities by engaging them in the history of Earth Sciences from non-traditional perspectives. The Geological Society of America (GSA) and the History of Earth Sciences Society (HESS) collaborate to involve students from historically excluded groups in their professional societies, increasing not only students’ participation in the Geosciences, but also broadening the culture of the respective societies. ADI Geo-History recruits college students with diverse identities and supports their participation in the Geological Society of America annual conference, with accompanying field excursions that focus on exposing full histories of resource extraction and its impact on humans and the landscape. Students will experience virtual mentoring sessions before and after the conference with professional geoscientists of diverse identities. Following GSA, student scholars will prepare outreach materials for their home institutions based on what they have learned through their conference participation and fieldtrip experience. ADI Geo-History delivers a proof-of-concept to engage Geosciences-associated professional societies in activities that promote diversity and diversify society membership with the intention to expand this effort in the near future. The Advancing Geosciences’ Cultural Change in Access, Diversity, and Inclusion via History of Geology and Environmental Justice project (ADI Geo-History) is a 2-year planning effort emerging from the Geosciences ASCEND RCN (NSF #2037271) and spearheaded by the History of Earth Sciences Society (HESS), an affiliated Geological Society of America (GSA) society. The proposed effort conceptualizes a sustained initiative to diversify the HESS membership and encourage participation of diverse identities in documenting and telling the history of Earth Science from non-traditional perspectives. For this effort, the PIs will implement experimental field trips/short courses and sessions for the 2023/2024 GSA Connects annual meetings (Pittsburgh, PA; Anaheim, CA), and engage students with diverse identities to focus on acknowledging, understanding, and accurately portraying the history of resource extraction and the legacy of extractive activities in the geosciences. ADI Geo-History will demonstrate a proof-of-concept to engage Geosciences-associated professional societies in activities that promote diversity and diversify society membership. As such, Geosciences-associated societies become active agents in developing their diversity profile, build social capital among diverse communities, broaden professional networks, and welcome diverse perspectives into professional societies.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.

地球科学是最不多样化的科学之一，在处理国家关注的科学和社会问题时，需要有代表性的声音和利益相关者。通过地质历史和环境正义项目（ADI Geo-History）推进地球科学在准入、多样性和包容性方面的文化变化，支持具有不同身份的学生从非传统角度参与地球科学史。美国地质学会（GSA）和地球科学史学会（HESS）合作，让历史上被排斥的群体的学生加入他们的专业学会，不仅增加了学生对地球科学的参与，而且拓宽了各自学会的文化。ADI Geo-History招收具有不同身份的大学生，支持他们参加美国地质学会年会，并提供实地考察，重点揭示资源开采的完整历史及其对人类和景观的影响。学生们将在会议前后与不同身份的专业地球科学家进行虚拟指导。在GSA之后，学生学者将根据他们参加会议和实地考察的经验，为他们的家乡机构准备外联材料。ADI Geo-History提供了一个概念验证，以参与与地球科学相关的专业协会的活动，促进多样性和多样化的社会成员，并打算在不久的将来扩大这一努力。通过地质和环境正义的历史项目（ADI Geo-History）推进地球科学在获取、多样性和包容性方面的文化变化是由地球科学ASCEND RCN （nsf# 2037271）发起的一项为期两年的计划工作，由隶属于美国地质学会（GSA）的地球科学学会历史（HESS）牵头。提议的努力构思了一个持续的倡议，使HESS成员多样化，并鼓励不同身份的人参与从非传统的角度记录和讲述地球科学史。为此，pi将为2023/2024年GSA连接年会（宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡；加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆）实施实验性实地考察/短期课程和会议，并让具有不同身份的学生专注于承认、理解和准确描绘资源开采的历史以及地球科学中开采活动的遗产。ADI Geo-History将展示一个概念验证，以吸引与地球科学相关的专业协会参与促进多样性和多样化社会成员的活动。因此，与地球科学相关的社团成为发展其多样性概况、在不同社区之间建立社会资本、扩大专业网络和欢迎不同观点进入专业社团的积极推动者。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
