NYSGA Partners with American Geological Institute (AGI)
AGI is a federation of geoscientific and professional associations that represents more than 250k geoscientists across the US and around the world. AGI provides information services to geoscientists, serves as a voice of shared interests in the geoscience profession, plays a major role in strengthening geoscience education, and strives to increase public awareness of the vital role the geosciences play in society’s use of resources, resilience to natural hazards, and the health of the environment. NYSGA shares similar interests.
On Tuesday, November 9th from 1:00 – 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, AGI will sponsor an online webinar presenting practical “how-to” information for geoscientists who wish to conduct research in national parks. For more information please visit the link: Geoscience Research in National Parks: A Welcome and How-to
Speakers will discuss the policies that foster and govern research in national parks, geoscience priorities, National Park Service programs that help researchers do science, internship and fellowship opportunities for students, and insights on doing research in national parks and how to build effective relationships.
Our target audiences for this webinar includes students, post-docs, academic faculty and staff, those working at government agencies, non-profits, museums, research institutes, and private companies.
