UNAVCO: NSF’S GEODETIC FACILITY UNAVCO operates the NSF GAGE (Geodesy Advancing Geosciences and EarthScope) Facility The GAGE facility supports many facets of geoscience research including instrumentation and infrastructure, data analysis, cyberinfrastructure, and broader impacts UNAVCO, a non-profit university-governed consortium, facilitates geoscience research and education using geodesy

GEOSCIENCE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AT UNAVCO Lower division undergraduate Upper division undergraduate Graduate student Post- doc/early career RESESS E-Net Mentoring Training Geo-Launchpad USIP Fall Conference Networking Events

GEOSCIENCE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Geo-Launchpad engages community college students Critical to engage students earlier in their academic careers Geo-enabled experience introducing students to research, research skills development, and professional opportunities in geosciences Highly successful RESESS program engages upper division undergraduate students Authentic, independent research experience Support structure to ensure continued success and retention in graduate programs Graduate students USIP provides real-world work experiences for graduate students and upper division undergraduates Short courses, mentoring, training, and community support structure Continued network from graduate school to early career professionals provides support pathway (e.g. E-Net: Expanding Networks Through Mentoring) Early career professionals Early leadership opportunities in mentoring Continued support network for professional positions in academia, industry or other geo-focused careers - partnerships with SOARS (NCAR), NEON, IRIS UNAVCO is committed to developing a diverse, well-prepared geoscience workforce, and accomplishing this requires a continuous support structure

RESESS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM 2015: Completed 11th summer of internship program; 56 alumni Multi-year, 11-week paid summer internship - opportunity to participate for a total of 3 summers Professional development Career exploration via local field trips, graduate student round table Writing and communications workshops Graduate school application support (including GRE prep materials and exam fees; application fee support) Interns present their summer work at end of summer UNAVCO intern colloquium and poster session hosted by UCAR Funding available to attend scientific conference to interact with broader scientific community [funding provided by grant from ExxonMobil Foundation] Interns mentored by faculty, researchers, postdocs, and graduate students from a variety of institutions - research mentors and communications mentors 2015 RESESS interns
