From jackya at ldeo.columbia.edu Wed Sep 8 08:33:29 2021 From: jackya at ldeo.columbia.edu (Jacqueline Austermann) Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2021 11:33:29 -0400 Subject: [CIG-ALL] 2021 CIG election nominations - deadline: Sept. 24th Message-ID: <28C21E1C-9622-4C69-9EF8-BA77CE6CE79C@ldeo.columbia.edu> Dear CIG Community, We are soliciting nominations for candidates to fill positions on the CIG Executive Committee (EC, 2 positions) and Science Steering Committee (SSC, 4 positions, one of them partial term). Please send your nominations via email to nominations at geodynamics.org by COB Friday September 24th. Self nominations are encouraged! We also note that any candidate whose nomination is signed by three Electors will be placed on the slate. We are committed to developing diverse membership in the committees with representation from different research areas, geographic locations and underrepresented groups. Nominations for candidates with expertise in the areas of seismology, dynamo, and computer science are especially encouraged this year. Further information on the roles of these committees and current members can be found at https://geodynamics.org/cig/about/governance/ , which now includes documents that detail the responsibilities of the SSC and the EC . Thank you in advance for your nominations. Sincerely, Jacky Austermann Max Rudolph Carl Tape 2021 Nominations Committee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The four-year project will be centered at five institutions having opportunities for postdocs or students. image of team/project: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11n0gpky7-_z6RGVmP0FNmrwlVCYu0K5A/view?usp=sharing UAF: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2104052 Mines: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2103621 UW: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2103701 CU: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2103741 UT: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2103494 The SCOPED project goal is to establish a novel hybrid cloud+HPC computational platform for use by the broader scientific community that combines large-scale processing and modeling of seismic data with a suite of open-source seismic codes. We are asking anyone who might be interested in applying for a postdoc or participating in the project to answer a few questions in the following survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfx_pZhL7oywF8uPC5naCX1yrqez_YxM28d0moEv0hyVGcGig/viewform We are asking to receive survey responses by Monday, September 20th. Thank you for your time.

We kick of this year’s webinar series with a series of short research presentations from the 2021 SMOREs  (Summer Modeling Research Experience) undergraduate research interns on Thursday October 14 @ 2P PT: SMOREs Showcase Elena Ehrlich, North Carolina State University Keneni Godana, University of Illinois at Chicago Dante Hickey, Reed College Hiva Mohammadzadeh, Los Angeles Pierce College Brittany Okonkwo, University of California Santa Barbara Members of the geodynamics community come from a broad range of fields. Many of these fields are among the least diverse in STEM. The challenges for computational geodynamics are not only to increase competency in earth and computational science but also in recruiting from an undergraduate student pool that in itself lacks diversity. The CIG 2021 Summer MOdeling Research Experiences (SMOREs) pilot program focused on addressing these issues by providing underrepresented groups funded training and research opportunities. In total, 4 applicants from a broad range of backgrounds and expertise were selected for the program out of 35 highly qualified applications. Following 2 weeks of virtual tutorials, the applicants worked with mentor pairs at different CIG-member institutions on projects ranging from mantle dynamics to magmatism within the lithosphere. This webinar will contain a short, AGU-style presentation from each SMOREs participants on the results of their summer research and plans going forward. We welcome all members of the community to join for the conclusion of the pilot CIG program! ***NEW*** YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT: https://ucdavis.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEkdu2upzIiE9M9t-fz-9e6l-_vAyqNQgzY Business Meeting ** SAVE THE DATE The 2021 Annual Business Meeting will be held virtually this year on Thursday November 18 @ 2P PT.
