This project will provide travel support for student participation in a professional development and skills-training workshop that aids their progress toward environmental geology/engineering geology careers, an area of significant national need. The Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG) is the acknowledged international leader in environmental and engineering geology and is greatly respected for its stewardship of the profession. AEG offers information on environmental and engineering geology useful to practitioners, scientists, students, and the public. To increase awareness of AEG and the career pathways AEG supports, a 1-day, pre-meeting workshop and virtual field trip will be convened at the Geological Society of America - GSA Connects 2023 annual meeting in Pittsburgh, PA. The effort will target student-scholars of GSA’s On To the Future program. OTF student-scholars will learn about the benefits of AEG membership with respect to professional skills training, acquiring professional capital, developing professional networks, and advancing altruistic environmental geology/engineering geology careers. The Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG), a member of the NSF-sponsored Geosciences ASCEND Research Coordination Network, is hosting an Applied Geosciences Career Discussion and Virtual Field Trip (VFT) during the Geological Society of America GSA Connects 2023 annual meeting in Pittsburgh, PA on Saturday, 14 October 2023. The focus of the workshop is investigating and understanding landslides and mitigating landslide hazards. This event is an accessible, day-long pre-meeting workshop developed for GSA On To the Future (OTF) student-scholars to introduce them to career opportunities in applied geosciences. The workshop provides career information and skills-oriented professional development via a virtual field trip to examine prominent landslides in the Pittsburgh area. AEG facilitators will share career advice with OTF scholars and develop research skills by exploring the notable geological sites in and around Pittsburgh.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.

该项目将为学生参加专业发展和技能培训研讨会提供旅行支持，以帮助他们在环境地质学/工程地质学职业生涯中取得进展，这是一个重要的国家需求领域。环境和工程地质学家协会（AEG）是环境和工程地质学领域公认的国际领导者，因其对该行业的管理而备受尊敬。AEG提供对从业者、科学家、学生和公众有用的环境和工程地质信息。为了提高对AEG和AEG支持的职业途径的认识，将在美国地质学会- GSA Connects 2023年年会上召开为期1天的会前研讨会和虚拟实地考察。这项工作将针对GSA的“走向未来”项目的学生学者。OTF学生学者将了解AEG成员在专业技能培训，获取专业资本，发展专业网络和推进利他主义环境地质学/工程地质学职业生涯方面的好处。环境与工程地质学家协会（AEG）是NSF赞助的地球科学ASCEND研究协调网络的成员，将于2023年10月14日星期六在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的美国地质学会GSA连接2023年会期间举办应用地球科学职业讨论和虚拟实地考察（VFT）。研讨会的重点是调查和了解山体滑坡和减轻山体滑坡的危害。本次活动是一个可访问的，为期一天的会前研讨会开发的GSA对未来（OTF）学生学者向他们介绍应用地球科学的就业机会。该研讨会提供职业信息和技能为导向的专业发展，通过虚拟实地考察在匹兹堡地区突出的山体滑坡。AEG促进者将与OTF学者分享职业建议，并通过探索匹兹堡及其周边地区的著名地质遗址来发展研究技能。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
