Dear colleagues,

You may have seen the recent request for geoscience education research
(GER) community feedback on ICON processes
<https://nagt.org/nagt/about/icon.html>. The geosciences span a wide range
of disciplines (e.g. atmospheric science, geology, oceanography, physical
geography) that may have different needs.

In response to the community conversations that emerged from the ICON
initiative and the recent GSA Today commentary, as active geoscience
education researchers who co-led a community needs assessment in 2014
(Lukes et al., 2015), we’d like to learn more about the current
professional development needs and perspectives of GER community members
regarding the vision for the future of GER

has been funded. The project goals are to (1) engage and support
undergraduate faculty in developing, testing, and implementing
high-quality instructional materials that put investigation and design
at the center of introductory science courses that serve future
teachers; and (2) assess the impact of the use of the materials and the
development process. To achieve the project goals, we are hiring two
postdocs to engage in research and support the materials development

Dear GeoEd Colleagues,

I hope this finds you well and safe. I am excited to pass along the following opportunity to this list, as it would be fantastic for a geoscience educator to be selected to join us in the Texas A&M University College of Geosciences. These fellowships are open-field, so GeoEd people from atmospheric sciences, oceanography and geography would be welcome along with those with more of a solid-earth focus. If you have a senior doctoral student or postdoc in your circle who you think would be a strong applicant, please pass this along. Prospective candidates can either reach

All:

I have been reflecting on the pandemic and its implications for faculty, staff, and students. Each of us have unique lived experiences that are impacted by the pandemic. None of these impacts is more “difficult” than any other – whether we are single, partnered, parents of small children or teenagers, non-parents, children of nearby elderly parents, living far from family, etc. – we are all facing unprecedented uncertainty and associated stress that impacts our mental and physical wellbeing. In this light, collaboration seems particularly important.

Dear GEO ED Research Community,

It is that time of year of writing letters of recommendation for those

research on letters of recommendation.

While letters can provide insight into a candidate’s strengths and
weaknesses, research shows that they are rife with bias. Letters have a
tendency to favor men over women, Whites over people of color, and
applicants from research-intensive over non-research institutions. For
example, letters often describe women as helpful, pleasant team players,
while men are often described with standout terms like “brilliant,”
“focused,” and having “potential.”

Summer is here! Next time you head out to Yosemite National Park (well, once all that piled up snow is gone and the roads open), download this cool audio tour app "Yosemite: A Story of Fire and Ice" to learn about the formation of magmatic and glacial features in the park. This tour was made by students and faculty in the Geological Sciences department at CSUF in collaboration with PhD candidate Katie Ardill at USC, and was sponsored by NSM/CSUF.

Dear GeoEd colleagues,
A team of four researchers at three universities (myself at TAMU, Drs. Julie Sexton & Harmony Newman at the University of Northern Colorado and Dr. Krystal Hinerman of Lamar University) have been funded by NSF Education Core Research to examine the influence of field camp experience on undergraduate geology majors’ academic and career decisions. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join us in this work, especially someone with a strong methodological grounding as described in the announcement below.

Greetings,

We are re-opening the search for a GER postdoc to work in the Geoscience
Education Lab at Northern Illinois University (NIU). The start date would
be September 1, 2019, but an earlier start date is preferred.

The postdoc will lead a mixed-methods investigation of students’ spatial
conceptions of erosional processes, support the collection and analysis of
quantitative classroom data, develop and publish manuscripts for education
and geoscience journals, and develop proposals for external funding. This
is a two-year position funded by NSF award #1835950. The project includes
the opportunity for a week-long residency at the Research in Spatial

Opening for Department of Geosciences Chair at Middle Tennessee State University. Review of applications begins September 3. See attached.

Hi all.

I am in the process of trying to convince my Department of Geosciences to welcome a geoscience education research specialization for a Ph.D. awarded by the department. This has been an uphill battle and one of the reasons seems to be that GER is not considered by many in the department as traditional geoscience (by the bye, geophysics was in the same boat through the 1930s to 1950s and look at it now). Anyway, during one extended discussion, I made the supposition that GER had in some instances probably advanced the field of geoscience and said that I

Greetings!

There are lots of great GER sessions at GSA in Indianapolis this year - and
with the abstract deadline approaching on August 14th (11:59pm PDT), I'd
like to draw your attention to four NAGT-GER division-sponsored sessions on
active learning, learning in the field, climate literacy, and methodologies
and theoretical frameworks.

Session T84 is somewhat unique, focusing on the decision-making process in
conducting GER studies. It builds on two previous sessions on methods in
GER, with the goal of building our community's awareness of different
methods and theoretical frameworks. You can view previous presentations in
these sessions from 2015 <https://nagt.org/nagt/divisions/geoed/methods>

Dear Colleagues,

I’d like to bring your attention to a session on strategies for mentoring
undergraduates in research
that I am co-convening with
Melissa Burt
and Rebecca Haacker. Submit your abstract today!

Session ID: 50301
*Section*: *ED*
Session Title: Mentoring the Whole Student: Strategies for Research
Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Session Description:

Research internships rely heavily on the efforts of scientific mentors to
guide undergraduates through their research challenges and often take on
additional supportive roles. In this session, speakers will present on
successful mentoring structures, strategies for preparing mentors, and
creating supportive environments that allow student interns to succeed.
