Two grants, in the amount of $1,500 each, are awarded for projects that promote outreach to the lay-public in any areas of the geosciences. Do you have an interesting concept that will engage and enlighten your fellow citizens in matters of Earth science? Perhaps an innovative idea on how to bolster communications with public officials? Or, maybe, you are seeking to augment an existing outreach effort? Apply for an E-An Zen Geoscience Grant. There is a quick review and award cycle; application deadline is July 10, 2024 with notification of awards anticipated August 31, 2024. Application materials should be sent in a single PDF to G&S Division Past-Chair Dr. Lily Jackson at lily.jackson@uwyo.edu Follow this link to get started and see examples of past projects: https://lnkd.in/eZzKFFgX Cartoon: Average Familiarity by xkcd A little about Dr. E-An Zen by Susan Stover Born in Peking China in 1928, Zen immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 18. His formal education was from Cornell (bachelor’s degree) and Harvard (master’s and doctorate degrees). Most of his career was at USGS, his home for thirty years. Zen integrated field and lab data on various tectonic settings and developed cohesive petrogenic models of the evolution of Earth’s crust. Zen was a member and Fellow in several professional organizations including GSA, where he also served as President (1991-1992). His work was recognized with many awards throughout his remarkable career. The author John McPhee wrote that Zen “is approximately as exotic as the rocks he studies” (Travels of the Rock in Irons in the Fire, 1997). Very exacting in this thinking, Zen was concerned about the often-interchangeable words of restoration and rehabilitation. The former he considered impractical; nature is never static. He encouraged us to “beware of our ignorance dressed as knowledge… [and] of unintended consequences of hubris and conceit masquerading as wisdom”. Zen stressed the important role geologists have to inform and advise governments about environmental problems. He established this grant to support programs that bring geologic knowledge to the public.

This seems like an important one to attend, assuming that other countries have the same issue in terms of perceptions of geology. This perception clearly needs to be changed to make geology cool again (which it actually is!). But it requires new thinking and a significant amount of young blood to make it work in order to tackle the future challenges especially associated with the energy transition.

🔨 As geoscientists, when faced with a problem, we all love to think outside the box and come up with innovative, practical solutions. Last week we needed to put a new board up on the wall but had forgotten to bring a level. What did we reach for? A trusty compass clinometer of course to give a dip reading! It is amazing to realise just how transferrable all our geoscience skills are. Can you think of a time when you have gone outside the box and put one of your geological tools to use in a different way? Or when you have used your geological knowledge to solve a non-geological problem? Let us know in the comments. #geoscience #skills #problemsolving

Back in 1997, when I embarked on my geology studies, many considered this field a dying science. Already at that time it was much more than studying the "Dent de Morcle synclinal". Who could have imagined then that today, it would be at the forefront of tackling humanity's greatest challenges and pioneering breakthroughs in energy and climate change technologies? From CO2 capture to alternative construction materials, and from underground infrastructures to renewable energy, geochemistry, mineralogy, and geology are indispensable. Here's a glimpse into how these fields are shaping our world: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Our planet faces the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions, and geochemistry is offering innovative solutions. From storing CO2 in basaltic reservoirs to transforming it with stable minerals like olivine (Mg, Fe)SiO4 and wollastonite CaSiO4, our discipline is leading the charge towards a greener future. Sustainable Construction Materials: Traditional building materials come with a hefty environmental cost. But with advancements in calcium silicate-based clinker materials and the utilization of supplementary cementitious materials, geologists are paving the way for more sustainable construction practices. Renewable Energy: From Li-rich deposits for lithium batteries to perovskite (CaTiO3) solar cells, geological expertise is vital in unlocking the potential of renewable energy sources. we're actively investigating effective methods to recycle and convert them into renewable energy sources Environmental Monitoring: As climate change alters geological environments, the need for constant monitoring and risk assessment is greater than ever. Whether it's monitoring alpine environments or using ground-penetrating radars for underground infrastructure, geologists are on the front lines of ensuring safety and stability. Their utilization underscores the importance of exploring diverse materials to enhance energy storage capabilities and advance renewable energy transition. Let's take a moment to applaud the dedication and ingenuity of our fellow colleagues in geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry. Sébastien Castelltort Baumgartner Regina Isabelle Chambefort Bastian Georg, Dr. Dr. Claudia Pudack Veronika Klemm Mathieu Antoni Dr. Andrew J Stewart Eric Champod Niels Giroud Pascal Zanetta Leonard Luzieux Marc Münster just to name a few... all the other you are in my 💓 and my linkedin contacts 😂 Together, we're not just studying rocks; we're shaping the future of our planet. Happy TGIF to all the trailblazers in our field! Let's continue to push boundaries, drive innovation, and make a positive impact on our world. We need geologist, mineralogist, and geochemist 🌟 #Geochemistry #Mineralogy #Geology #Sustainability #Innovation #FutureOfWork #renewableenergy #breakthroughenergy #climatechange #infrastructures #underground #earthscience #earth

This year I was Chair of the Academic and Applied Geoscience Relations Committee for #GSA2024. We have put together a special session on geology careers outside of academia, called Beyond the Degree: Making an Impact with Geology. I encourage everyone to participate, it's such an important topic to show students there are so many things you can do, and so many skills you already have, that apply to more than just academics! #Geology #Geophysics #GeologicalEngineering #Geosciences #Energy #EnergyTransition #Seismic #OilAndGas #Mining #Exploration #EnvironmentalScience #GeoCommunity #Rocks #Minerals #STEMCareers #EarthScience https://lnkd.in/eR4Kcz9d

📢 Calling All Geoscientists and Earth Science Enthusiasts! 🌍🔬 Whilst I'm job searching, I'm starting a side project I've wanted to do for a little while: developing a geoscience outreach program. I've loved helping educate people over the last few years (having started working with young people several years ago as a Beaver Leader, working as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, and helping with various outreach projects at university) and I've wanted to apply this to help educate the wider public in the world of geology/geophysics for a couple of years. With the dwindling number of students pursuing geosciences in further education and the number of schools dropping it from the curriculum, it's becoming more and more important to raise awareness of the subjects. Growing up near the Black Country and fantastic geological outcrops such as Wren's Nest, I was exposed to Geology early on (being a kid in love with dinosaurs also helped), but many people aren't in the same position. To try and help make this project as impactful and effective as possible, I'm trying to get some feedback from people who are interested in geoscience from a variety of backgrounds to help shape the development. If you have a few spare minutes, I would be incredibly thankful if you could fill in my survey following this link: https://lnkd.in/efFM3JkF All questions are optional so if you haven't got an answer, don't worry! Whether you're a seasoned geoscientist, a student, or simply passionate about earth sciences, your feedback is incredibly helpful in shaping a program that meets the needs and interests of our community. Your responses will help to determine the most relevant topics, effective content formats, and the best ways to engage more people with the geosciences. Please feel free to share this post with your network. The more feedback received, the better the program can be tailored to help improve public understanding of this amazing set of subjects. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! If you think I've missed anything in the survey, please let me know, or feel free to add it in the comments section towards the end. Thank you!
