Track 1 OEDG: Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences through awareness, recruitment, and training using the Chattanooga Earth Explorers

途径1：利用查塔努加地球探险家“地球探险家”通过意识、招募和培训增强地球科学的多样性“地球探险家”是一个为期两年的计划，旨在招募代表人数不足的少数群体加入田纳西大学查塔努加大学的地质学课程。“地球探险者”开展的活动旨在：1)提高公众对地球科学的认识；2)招募人数不足的少数族裔加入田纳西大学查塔努加大学物理、地质和天文学系的地质学项目；3)吸引和培训学生制定和实施查塔努加地区溪流的水质监测计划。提高认识活动包括向普通公众和当地所有高中分发一份《地球探索》报纸插页。这个插页教育学生和公众关于地球科学的不同方面、职业机会、薪水和探索地球科学职业所需的步骤。针对高中生和大学生的招聘活动包括与当地查塔努加学区合作制定一项计划，在一所少数民族高中开展课后计划。该项目包括多达13项活动，包括实地考察和演讲。大学招生工作包括编写和分发宣传材料，以及为潜在或未申报的少数族裔学生举办部门开放日。针对学生的培训活动包括由学生实施的水质监测计划，该计划将涉及对查塔努加地区的溪流和水道进行采样，并使用研究技术分析数据。

Track 1: Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences through Awareness, Recruitment and Training using the Chattanooga Earth Explorers "Earth Explorers" is a two-year program designed to recruit underrepresented minority groups into the geology program at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. "Earth Explorers" conducts activities designed to: 1) increase awareness of geoscience among the general public; 2) recruit underrepresented minorities into the geology program of the Department of Physics, Geology and Astronomy at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga; and 3) engage and train students to develop and implement a water quality monitoring program for streams in the Chattanooga area. Awareness building activities include an "Earth Explorations" newspaper insert distributed to the general public and all local high schools. This insert educates students and the general public about different aspects of the geosciences, career opportunities, salaries, and steps needed to explore a career in the geosciences. Recruitment activities targeting high school and university students include development of a collaborative program with the local Chattanooga school district for an after-school program at a minority high school. This project entails up to 13 activities, including field trips and speakers. University recruitment efforts include development and distribution of promotional materials and a departmental open house for prospective or undeclared minority students. Training activities for students include a water quality monitoring program conducted by the students that will involve sampling streams and waterways in the Chattanooga area and analyzing data using research techniques.
