Thanks to my colleagues Kim Kasten, Karen McNeal, and Heather Macdonald for helping co-lead this webinar and to the participants - it was an engaging Q&A period at the end. Thanks too to John McDaris for helping facilitate the technology side of it and getting the recording out so quickly.
One follow-up comment now to the chat discussion: Diversity issues as a area for more GER was raised in the discussion, although it did not rise as a highest GER community need in the survey results. Nevertheless this is an important topic. [Note: the survey focused on needs to better support GER workers, not on what geo ed topics GER workers should focus their research on]. To move forward more effectively and efficiently on ways GER can address diversity-issues in the geosciences I think it will help to build on synthesis-level evidence about what we know and what gaps exist in this field. Therefore I wanted to share that the JGE GER theme issue editors received letters of intent from multiple potential authors who plan to write literature reviews on diversity issues in the geosciences. Its great to see the community already moving in this direction.
