The Indigenous Earth Sciences Project (IESP) provides pathways for Native American students to join the growing ranks of American Indian geoscientists. It is our hope that students educated at Purdue and at our partnering institutions will return to work and live in their home communities as earth science professionals, helping complete the cycle and grow the next generation of Native American geoscientists.
