ADVANCEing FieldSafety (https://fieldsafe.colorado.edu/) is a program that provides field research teams with the training and tools to promote safe and inclusive environments, identify and mitigate unsafe and harmful behaviors, and create a culture within field teams that reduces the likelihood and impact of these behaviors in the future.

Panelists are:

  • Anne U. Gold - Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder
  • Blair Schneider - Kansas Geological Survey, University of Kansas
  • Mariama Dryák-Vallies - Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder
  • Alexandra M. Padilla - Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder

During this webinar, the panelists will discuss:

  • the development of an asynchronous online training course and an accompanying toolkit of references and resources for field teams,
  • the different certification pathways for training participants,
  • how the training addresses the new NSF PAPPG for safe and inclusive field environments (2E9),
  • and our research plan for studying the effectiveness of the training course and Toolkit resources for participants and field teams.

ADVANCEing FieldSafety is an NSF-funded collaboration between CU-Boulder and the ADVANCEGeo Partnership.
