Confluence Retirement
In an effort to consolidate USGS hosted Wikis, myUSGS’ Confluence service is scheduled for retirement on January 27th, 2023. The official USGS Wiki and collaboration space is now SharePoint. Please migrate existing spaces and content to the SharePoint platform and remove it from Confluence at your earliest convenience. If you need any additional information or have any concerns about this change, please contact myusgs@usgs.gov. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.Hide If | ||||

January2120, 2022 - Monthly Meeting1:00 - 1:05 Announcements1:05 - 1:35 Briefing on New National Academies Report: Next Generation Earth System Science at the National Science FoundationPresenters: Study Co-Chairs Ruth DeFries, Columbia University and George Hornberger, Vanderbilt University Description: A new report from the National Academies recommends NSF create a next-generation Earth systems science initiative to explore the complex interactions between the natural world and society and enhance our understanding of Earth’s systems — the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, and the individuals, institutions, and technologies that respond to and influence these dynamics. The report says NSF’s next-generation Earth systems science initiative should innovate, advance, and nurture an integrated research approach for the field, which will require NSF to place an increased emphasis on research inspired by real-world problems while maintaining its strong legacy of curiosity driven research across many disciplines — and to enhance the participation of social, engineering, and data scientists, and strengthen its efforts to include diverse perspectives in research. Join us to hear more about the report and the six key characteristics of an integrated Earth systems science initiative.

We welcome volunteers, speaker suggestions, and topic suggestions at riskyworld@usgs.gov.Previous MeetingsClick on "Meeting Notes" above for notes and recordings from previous meetings.Annual Risk Request for ProposalsGoals: Each year, the Risk CoP issues an internal Request for Proposals (RFP). The goals of the Risk RFP are to grow and build capacity across the USGS Risk Community of Practice; incentivize cross-center, cross-mission area, and interdisciplinary research; incentivize a focus on meaningful user engagement; identify and support projects that advance different elements of the Risk Plan; advance USGS goals of diversity and inclusion; use funded projects to demonstrate lessons learned and identify new resources (e.g., expertise, organizations, methods) for pursuing work in risk research and applications; and, leverage foundational datasets. Recipients of funding are listed here: https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/reducing-risk/science/implementing-risk-plan?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objectsThe FY22 RFP will be announced in October, 2022. Please join the Risk CoP for regular updates and information.PurposeThe purpose of the Risk Research and Applications Community is to convene like-minded scientists and staff from across USGS to discuss issues relevant to risk research and applications. Monthly meetings include a mix of presentations, discussions, and announcements about relevant resources, events, and activities. Anyone interested is welcome to attend and ideas for future meetings are always appreciated. The establishment of this Community is part of implementing the 2018 USGS Risk Plan, USGS Science for a Risky World: a USGS Plan for Risk Research and Applications.Additional BackgroundThe USGS Risk Plan addresses the need to grow USGS risk research and applications across a broad range of hazards to provide actionable information for risk reduction to our partners. Recommendation 4.1 states, “create a community of practice for risk research and applications to create a central, Bureau-wide point of contact for risk research and applications and to identify, connect, and coordinate relevant expertise across the Bureau.” Ultimately, the intent is for this community to be grassroots-driven, with the goal of providing a forum for individuals to build connections across centers, programs, and Mission Areas; to identify needs and opportunities to benefit the community; to generate project ideas; and to share resources and expertise. Connectivity across the community will be accomplished via monthly meetings, an online forum, and a face-to-face meeting. |
