The National Association of Black Geoscientists (NABG) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) will host a joint student-centered conference. The two organizations will host a technical conference with the theme “Geosciences United: Collaborating for a Sustainable and Equitable Future at the 42nd NABG Annual Technical Conference”. Requested support will defray registration, travel and subsistence expenses of approximately forty student participants. The conference will be held at the AGU headquarters in Washington D.C. on 27-30 September 2023 as a hybrid event (in-person and virtual). The PIs expect that this conference will attract attendees representing many of the federal agencies because of its central location at AGU headquarters in Washington, DC. In addition, the PIs will actively recruit a national cadre of students from minority serving institutions (MSIs) and other institutions who are majoring in geoscience disciplines representing atmospheric sciences, geoscience, marine sciences, and environmental sciences. Students will present research and participate in other activities of the conference. The objective is to expand the disciplinary representation of NABG to include more students from MSIs interested in the broader disciplines of Geosciences and to build new relationships to unite geosciences disciplines.During the past year, land-falling hurricanes and extreme drought/extreme flooding, and wildfires directly impacted the U.S. Thus, the relevance of atmospheric and environmental sciences to NABG members and their employers presents obvious opportunities to broaden the disciplinary areas of NABG while also engaging a broader audience of scholars and students in these disciplines. This meeting builds on successful efforts to improve the diversity of the geoscience workforce since 2009 and serves as an opportunity for academic institutions, government agencies, and the energy/environmental industry to recruit students from underrepresented groups to STEM disciplines and employment in the national geosciences workforce.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.

全国黑人地球科学家协会（NABG）和美国地球物理联盟（AGU）将举办以学生为中心的联合会议。这两个组织将举办一次技术会议，主题为“ Geosciences United：在第42届NABG年度技术会议上为可持续且公平的未来合作”。要求的支持将支付大约40名学生参与者的注册，旅行和生存费用。该会议将于2023年9月27日至30日在华盛顿特区的AGU总部举行，作为混合活动（面对面和虚拟）。 PI预计，由于其在华盛顿特区AGU总部的中心位置，该会议将吸引代表许多联邦机构的参与者。此外，PI将积极招募来自少数派服务机构（MSI）的学生干部和其他代表大气科学，地球科学，海洋科学和环境科学的地球科学学科的机构。学生将介绍研究并参加会议的其他活动。目的是扩大NABG的纪律表达，以包括更多来自MSI的学生在更广泛的地球科学学科中有趣的有趣，并建立新的关系以团结地球科学的学科。在过去的一年中，飓风和极端的干旱/极端洪水，极端的洪水和极端洪水，以及野外野生的范围直接影响了美国的相关成员，并使我们的环境范围和环境范围内的成员构成了整体的范围，并将其造成了巨大的席位和野蛮的态度。 NABG领域的同时，还吸引了更多的学者和学生参与这些学科。这次会议以成功的努力为基础，以改善地球科学劳动力的多样性，这是学术机构，政府机构和能源/环境行业的机会，以招募来自代表性不足的群体的学生来招募学生，以剥离阶级的学科和就业，并在国家地球科学的劳动力中进行了评估，这反映了NSF的智力宣传和支持的范围。 标准。
