EESA Members Invited to Join Pod: Unlearning Racism in Geoscience1 min read

by Christina Procopiou on January 27, 2021

Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division Energy Geosciences Division

EESA members Robin Lopez, Sebastien Biraud, Melanie Kincaid, and Charu Varadharajan listen during a workshop on workplace inclusion, diversity, equity, and accountability.

 

This week marks the launch of a new education and training course called Unlearning Racism in Geoscience (URGE). Funded by the National Science Foundation and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, URGE‘s primary objectives are to (1) deepen the community’s knowledge of the effects of racism on the participation and retention of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people in Geoscience, (2) draw on existing literature, expert opinions, and personal experiences to develop anti-racist policies and strategies, and (3) share, discuss and modify anti-racist policies and strategies within a dynamic community network and on a national stage. The course includes eight two-week sessions – each session including 1-2 journal articles on racism and an interview with an expert.

More information can be found here: https://urgeoscience.org/

If you are an EESA staff member and are interested in participating in this semester-long course, please register with this form as soon as possible. Any questions can be directed to jennynuss@lbl.gov

EESA Scientists Investigate How Tropical Soil Microbes Might Respond to Future Droughts2 min read

March 14, 2023

As the most biologically diverse terrestrial ecosystems on Earth, tropical rainforests are just as critical to sustaining environmental and human systems as they are beautiful. Their unique climate with high temperatures, humidity, and precipitation promotes high primary productivity, which offsets high respiration, resulting in these ecosystems being one of the largest carbon sinks on Earth,…

Doubling Protected Lands for Biodiversity Could Require Tradeoffs With Other Land Uses, Study Finds4 min read
