Project: Educating the Next Generation of Environemental Scientists Through a High School Environmental Justice Focused Research Experience

Project Lead: Steven Goldsmith, PhD, associate Professor, Geography and the Environment

Urban communities often suffer the greatest damage from poor water, air and soil quality. Geoscience programs, including the environmental sciences, are the foundation for jobs tasked with remedying these problems.

This partnership with Walter B. Saul High School in Philadelphia uses an immersive, locally based research experience in urban environmental geochemistry to broaden a pathway to the geosciences for Philadephia students. Students are engaged through both school-based active learning modules and a solutions-based summer research experience carried out alongside °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ undergraduate students.
