Earth System Personal Statement

210 Words1 Page

I am interested in participating in the "6 Degrees of Influence: Understanding the Interconnectedness of Earth Systems" research project because I have a deep appreciation for interdisciplinary programs. I am genuinely interested in this particular research program because this unique model exposes students to the role liberal arts plays in STEM research. Furthermore, this exposure to STEAM is complimented by the opportunity to conduct research and connect the research project to global issues. I would appreciate the opportunity to expose myself to earth science and gain knowledge on the different ways earth science impacts my community and other communities as well. I will use the information I gain from this program to encourage my peers

  • Humanities Lens Essay

    1165 Words  | 5 Pages

    While the humanities lens emphasizes the present and the future impacts of climate change on human values, the historical lens emphasizes the past and how human activity has contributed to climate change. The humanities are concerned with the human response to climate change and how it affects human well-being, while history is concerned with the evolution of human impacts on the environment. By examining my topic through these two lenses, I have gained a more comprehensive and holistic understanding of climate change and its impact on humanity. I have learned that climate change is not just a scientific issue but also a human issue that affects every aspect of our lives. Regarding the similarities and differences in how the lenses relate to my topic, the similarity is that both lenses provide a perspective beyond the scientific aspects of the topic.

    Additionally, I offer a unique invasion ecology perspective, particularly as it relates to biodiversity and conservation issues. It is my goal to prepare students (whether they pursue careers in the sciences or other disciplines) to evaluate and test hypotheses, to reason quantitatively, to communicate effectively, to appreciate the diversity of perspectives and motives surrounding complex problems, and to become citizens capable of informed decision-making on local and global environmental issues. George Mason University is located in close proximity to a number of natural areas (Rock Creek Park, SERC, various branches of UMCES, Wye Island National Resource Management Area, Chesapeake Bay), which would allow me to incorporate field activities in a range of urban, rural and natural settings within easy reach of campus. The university’s proximity to government agencies that deal with environmental science (EPA, USGS, NOAA, USDA) would also provide abundant opportunities to enrich my classes with speakers who conduct or apply environmental research in their careers. I also plan to incorporate my research results into lectures and class activities in order to give students a chance to work with real
