Are geoscience departments adequately preparing undergraduate students to succeed in these positions? Answering this question requires examining the alignment of undergraduate program outcomes and workforce needs. The results allow faculty to identify strengths and weaknesses in their programs with respect to workforce preparation (e.g., Viskupic et al., 2020). How well do we know workforce needs? Vision and Change in the Geosciences (Mosher and Keane, 2021) provides a list of competencies and skills necessary for new graduates to succeed in the workforce; the list was generated by academics (n ~200) and employers (n = 46) in a series of workshops. This list, while comprehensive and insightful, represents input from a relatively small sample of geoscience employers and may overrepresent the petroleum industry (26% of industry workshop participants), which has not been a significant employer of bachelorslevel geoscientists (Gonzales and Keane, 2021). Our goal was to characterize the skills sought by the full range of bachelorslevel geoscience employers and how these skills are communicated to potential applicants—with an eye toward providing information that would allow academic leaders to examine the alignment between their programs and workforce needs.","PeriodicalId":35784,"journal":{"name":"GSA Today","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63651875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stern","doi":"10.1130/gsatg480a.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1130/gsatg480a.1","url":null,"abstract":"The hypothesis that the Mesoproterozoic (1600–1000 Ma) tectonic regime was a protracted single-lid episode is explored. Singlelid tectonic regimes contrast with plate tectonics because the silicate planet or moon is encased in a single lithospheric shell, not a global plate mosaic. Single-lid tectonics dominate among the Solar System’s active silicate bodies, and these show a wide range of magmatic and tectonic styles, including heat pipe (Io), vigorous (Venus), and sluggish (Mars). Both positive and negative evidence is used to evaluate the viability of the Mesoproterozoic single-lid hypothesis. Four lines of positive evidence are: (1) elevated thermal regime; (2, 3) abundance of unusual dry magmas such as A-type granites and anorthosites; and (4) paucity of new passive continental margins. Negative evidence is the lack of rock and mineral assemblages formed by plate-tectonic processes such as ophiolites, blueschists, and ultra high-pressure terranes. Younger platetectonic–related and Mesoproterozoic mineralization styles contrast greatly. Paleomagnetic evidence is equivocal but is permissive that Mesoproterozoic apparent polar wander paths of continental blocks did not differ significantly. These tests compel the conclusion that the Mesoproterozoic single-lid hypothesis is viable.","PeriodicalId":35784,"journal":{"name":"GSA Today","volume":" ","pages":"4-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43909440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
