Hmm... listening to a thing about geoscience curriculum changes (as one does) that doesn't once bring up the licensing requirements that more or less structure the geo or earth science curriculum.

From <redacted>'s website

"The decreasing costs of computing power are facilitating use of computing approaches to solve major geoscience problems, like those associated with earthquake prediction"

I see why you all need a geophysicist! You're putting the words "earthquake prediction" on your site

A study in Nature Geoscience used mid-Holocene proxy records from 5,000-7,000 years ago to refine climate models, which suggest future winter sea ice could shrink by nearly 1 million square kilometers more than previously projected. go.nature.com/4i73WvR 🌏🌊🧪
This is figure 4, which shows weighted future Arctic sea ice projections.

THIS ROCK WANTS TO BE FAMOUS 🪨
Let's see how far this little rock can travel around the world! 🧪🌊

But here's the real question, can we make geoscience go viral? Does going viral actually mean we're communicating science effectively?

That's exactly the kind of conversation we want to have at #EGU27

Geoscience is still champion at defeating AI. Saw this bullshit comparison between Tahoe and Clear Lake and the animation labeling is something else.
A pseudo cross-section of clear Lake, presumably showing layers of sediment and fault and maybe some geothermal blobs, but they don’t appear to be in the right place, and all the labels are gobbledygook fake letter letters generated by AI

First up is Heather Christensen!

She is a PhD candidate at the University of Virginia. Learn more about her in the graphics below.

Congratulations from all of us with the IAGD, Heather! Work like yours if what makes and keeps the geosciences accessible and inclusive. ♿
Headshot of Heather Christensen sitting on wide gray steps in an urban outdoor setting. She poses with one arm resting on her knee. Text reads: Heather Christensen; IGER Awardee, 2026 PhD Candidate in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia My main areas of study are disability access in earth science fieldwork and resource allocation for vulnerable populations against the impacts of natural hazards. Heather sits cross-legged on a large flat rock. She aims a video camera towards students that are presenting out of the frame. Two students sit behind her on the rock, who are enrolled in the GeoSPACE accessible field course. In the distant background is Wupatki National Monument, a multistory pueblo dwelling. Text reads: Q: Tell us in your own words how you incorporate accessibility and inclusion into your work and life. A: I run a project called Belonging in the Field, which aims to identify and address barriers to access for students with disabilities in earth science education. Using my department’s undergraduate curriculum as a case study, I work with an amazing team of graduate and undergraduate researchers to audit field activities for access barriers and develop a framework to adapt these activities to Universal Design for Learning. I advocate for the disabled community in my natural hazards research by taking a population-specific approach to mapping resource access and vulnerability. Heather stands in front of a pond. She is speaking, gesturing toward the water and holding teaching materials. Text reads: Q: What does d/Disability and accessibility in the geosciences mean to you? A: Accessibility doesn’t just mean equity and inclusion in geoscience education and careers; it means appreciating the opportunity given to an environment when people with disabilities are present. The geosciences are all about exploration and discovery of our world and beyond, and that exploration takes a tremendous amount of creativity to carry out. People with disabilities have already learned to navigate the world differently than their peers. When included in the geosciences, disabled scientists provide the discipline with an opportunity to see things differently. Imagine the places we’d see and the things we’d learn if we had more disabled geoscientists. Text reads: Q: What is your biggest hope for the geoscience community? A: Ultimately, I hope that we rally behind the work our community is doing to improve the inclusion of students with disabilities in geoscience education. The issues we face outside of the classroom (e.g. being left behind in natural disasters) are reinforced when people with disabilities are kept from the workforce. More disabled geoscience students lead to more disabled geoscientists, more voices in the room where decisions are made that impact our community. Inclusive fieldwork is just one way to fix the leaks in the pipeline to disabled geoscientists in the workforce, so my hope for our community is that we leverage what we’ve collectively got going for us to fix those leaks together.

🧵 The IAGD is pleased to announce three IGER awardees for 2026:

Heather Christensen and Katie Gansler in our student category, and Steve Kortenkamp in our faculty category.

Please join us in celebrating their work that supports students with disabilities in geoscience education! ❤️
Heather and Katie with Chris Atchison at the IAGD booth, GSA 2026. All are smiling. The students are holding their award plaques.
