Fall Meeting DEI Travel Grants

post img

The AGU Biogeosciences Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is providing Fall Meeting Travel Grants to help increase the diversity among Biogeosciences attendees, by covering costs associated with attending the meeting, virtually or in-person. Awards will be need-based and up to $1,000. Awards are reserved for applicants who identify as members of underrepresented or underserved communities, have financial need, and who might otherwise not be able to attend the meeting. Since 2022, we have provided over $10,000 in funding to 25 biogeoscientists for travel grants to AGU fall meeting.

Off-Campus Field Work & Activities: Best Practices Guide

The value of field experience in an Earth Science education at both the undergraduate and graduate level is unquestioned. These field experiences take on many forms, from remote backpacking trips, to setting up instrumentation for urban air-quality measurements, to highly structured environments such as ships and field stations. However, living or travelling in close quarters can blur the boundaries between work and life. The guide below (credit Georga Tech) provides advice and best practices for navigating these complex environments.
