The International Association for Geoscience Diversity (IAGD) is proud to announce the IAGD Inclusive Geoscience Education and Research (IGER) Awards. These two awards for inclusive teaching and research will recognize outstanding efforts in promoting, developing, and/or implementing inclusive instruction & research that encourages active engagement and participation of students and practitioners with disabilities in the geosciences. Recipients of these awards share the vision of the IAGD to fundamentally shift the culture of the geosciences by creating a climate of access and inclusion, celebrating the diverse abilities of all students and geoscientists, and fostering interest and engagement in geoscience academic and career pathways. These awards are open to Earth science students, faculty and staff at all levels of academia (preK-Grad), as well as geoscience professionals, with or without disabilities, who exemplify what it means to live and work inclusively. The IAGD will recognize one IGER Award winner for Teaching and one for Research each year selected from the entire pool of nominees. Nominations are now being accepted.
