We encourage you to submit to this session â?? more information below. Thank you so much! *Session ID:* 191767 *Session Title:* ED033. Quantitative Skills Training and Educational Pathways in Solid Earth Geophysics *Section:* Education *Session Details:* https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/191767__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!cMjFa5A6AN_uwovWPywDJaYsTYB6XX_A2NrSeoC3ee8KuX_AjDeQ8lTqVf_SeBAxG_rrR-WCG_bkcwMK$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/191767__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!Zp_O-RE7Cv9mPU04D4tqSL85I61DpkKl60x6dl6zp6sKj_dJHiRTv3DwPcl8UOgDIasKDXVSzO0aNVE$> *Conveners: *Cathy Manduca (Carleton College), Cindy Ebinger (Tulane University), Mark Behn (Boston College), Deb Glickson (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) *Session Description:* A diverse, interdisciplinary, quantitatively literate workforce is crucial to solve Earth science problems at the core of current and future scientific and societally relevant problems, such as natural hazards, national security, climate change, and the energy transition. However, modernizing curricula can be challenging on a departmental level, as student numbers are falling in many subdisciplines and quantitative skills are not always emphasized. Moreover, the continued gaps in diversity in geosciences and a lack of perceived connection between quantitative skills and knowledge needed for jobs exacerbate these issues. Existing training networks address aspects of these challenges, but those education and career pathways are neither robust nor well-coordinated. This session will discuss novel approaches and lessons learned to strengthen quantitative training, enhance and diversify pathways for entry, and provide best practices and collective impact-oriented solution strategies for a solid Earth geophysics workforce of the future. 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 ------------------------------
