| Description: | Notice of Intent to award a grant to the American Geological Institute (AGI) in support of their proposal entitled “Earth Science Week 2016 Focus on Geohertiage”. Earth Science Week is an annual event sponsored by AGI and supported by its partner members. Events are held in all 50 states with a host of supportive activities taking place at science agencies, universities, museums, and other science-related facilities. This year’s theme, Our Shared Geoheritage, explores the collection of natural wonders, landforms, and resources that have formed over eons and come to this generation to manage, use and conserve effectively. Earth Science Week learning resources and activities engage young people and others in exploring geoheritage throughout the Earth systems, including the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. This theme promotes public understanding and stewardship in many areas, including Earth science, energy, paleontology, water quality, conservation, and climate science. |
