End of Workshop Evaluation - Nanoscience in the Earth and Environmental Sciences—From Theory to Practice Workshop

Please reflect on this workshop and let us know what worked and what needs improvement. Your input is valuable to us as we plan future workshops. We would like you to enter your name below, but your responses to this survey will be kept confidential. This will improve our ability to evaluate the program by allowing us to link information about your workshop experience to your responses to other evaluation instruments. The evaluators will remove any name in association with survey responses and will then share aggregated verbatim comments from all participants' responses with the workshop convener(s). We may use direct quotes to illustrate important points in project reports, professional publications,or conference presentations, but when individual quotes are used, any identifying information will be removed to protect anonymity.

Workshop DesignPlease rate the extent to which you agree with the following statements

a. The design of the workshop facilitated exchange of expertise among participants.

b. The workshop sessions were well facilitated.

c. The pre-workshop communications gave me the information I needed to learn about and prepare for the workshop.

d. The workshop events engaged me in active learning related to its goals.

GoalsFrom your perspective, to what extent did the workshop achieve its goals?

Introduce the geoscience community to new advances and opportunities to do research in nanoscience.

Help participants stay current with data, tools, services, and research related to nanogeoscience and nanoenvironmental science.

Showcase modern instruments, software, and related methods used to sample, analyze, and characterize nanomaterials in Earth and Environmental Sciences.

Address the "big science questions" related to nanoscience: nanomaterials in the Earth system, impacts on biogeochemical processes, characterization of nanomaterials and their chemical properties at the nanoscale, impacts of nanomaterials (natural and incidental) on the environment and human health.

Consider ways to effectively teach about "what can't be seen" on the nano-scale; how can we introduce nanoscience across the geoscience curriculum? How can we best train future geoscientists to be prepared to do this exciting new research?

Build collaborations; develop research networks to facilitate nanoscience research in the Earth and Environmental Sciences.
