About[]
AGI's monthly magazine Geotimes became EARTH Magazine on September 1, 2008 with an increased focus on public communication of geoscience research. As of April 1, 2019, EARTH Magazine suspended publication and has been folded into Nautilus magazine.[5]
Since 1966, AGI has produced GeoRef, a literature database for those studying the earth sciences.[6] AGI operates the Center for Geosciences and Society.[7]
Mission[]
The stated mission of AGI is to “represent and serve the geoscience community by providing collaborative leadership and information to connect Earth, science, and people.”[8]
