Organizations Filed Purposes: THE PURPOSE OF THE AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION (AGU) IS TO PROMOTE DISCOVERY IN EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY. AGU GALVANIZES A COMMUNITY OF EARTH AND SPACE SCIENTISTS THAT COLLABORATIVELY ADVANCES AND COMMUNICATES SCIENCE AND ITS POWER TO ENSURE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

AGU SEEKS TO PROMOTE DISCOVERY IN EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY.

MEETINGS: AGU HAS A DIVERSE MEETING PORTFOLIO THAT OFFERS MEETINGS OF VARIOUS SIZES AND FORMATS. MOST MEETING PARTICIPANTS PRESENT A POSTER AND/OR A TALK ON THEIR LATEST SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS CONTRIBUTING TO ADVANCING EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE. INDIVIDUALS MUST PAY A REGISTRATION FEE TO PARTICIPATE. THE ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS COVERING THEIR PRESENTATIONS ARE PUBLISHED AS PART OF THE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM FOR EACH MEETING AND AVAILABLE VIA AGU'S WEBSITE.THE AGU FALL MEETING IS RECOGNIZED AS THE LEADING MEETING IN THE EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCES COMMUNITY WITH PROGRAMMING FOCUSED ON INTER- AND MULTIPLE DISCIPLINARY SCIENCES AND POLICY AND SOCIETAL ISSUES. IT IS THE LARGEST MEETING IN THIS FIELD ATTRACTING MORE THAN 27,000 PARTICIPANTS AT THE DECEMBER 2019 MEETING. THE MEETING GENERATES HUNDREDS OF PRESS AND MEDIA STORIES ABOUT EARTH AND SCIENCE IN PROMINENT SOURCES THROUGH DISTRIBUTION ON THE TELEVISION, NEWS PRINT AND THROUGH OTHER ELECTRONIC OUTLETS.THE CHAPMAN CONFERENCES ARE SMALL TOPICAL CONFERENCES THAT FOCUS ON CURRENT AND EMERGING SCIENCE ISSUES. FIVE CHAPMAN CONFERENCES WERE HELD IN 2019. OF THE FIVE CONFERENCES, THREE WERE HELD IN THE UNITED STATES, ONE WAS HELD IN ICELAND AND ONE WAS HELD IN SPAIN. ATTENDANCE RANGED FROM BETWEEN 44 AND 140 PARTICIPANTS. THE ASTROBIOLOGY CONFERENCE (ABSCICON) IS AN ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASTROBIOLOGY COMMUNITY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NASA. THE 2019 MEETING WAS HELD AT THE HYATT REGENCY BELLEVUE IN BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON. THE MEETING FOCUSES ON ALL AREAS OF ASTROBIOLOGY INCLUDING OCEAN WORLDS, EXOPLANETS AND THE TRANSITION OF PREBIOTIC CHEMISTRY TO BIOLOGY. THE 2019 MEETING ATTRACTED OVER 900 ATTENDEES FROM 29 COUNTRIES. THE AGU-SEG WORKSHOP IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SOCIETY OF EXPLORATION GEOPHYSICS (SEG). THE FOCUS OF THE 2019 WORKSHOP WAS TO SHARE ADVANCEMENTS AND APPLICATIONS OF AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICS FOR GROUND WATER, MINERAL, PETROLEUM, GEOTECHNICAL AND HAZARDS INVESTIGATIONS. THE WORKSHOP WAS HELD AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY IN DAVIE, FLORIDA AND ATTRACTED 52 ATTENDEES.

COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA, PROGRAMS SEEK TO: 1) BUILD AND MAINTAIN AGU'S REPUTATION AS A LEADER, COLLABORATOR AND SOUGHT AFTER PARTNER WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THE EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE COMMUNITY; 2) PROMOTE AGU AND ITS PROGRAMS, INITIATIVES AND SERVICES TO CURRENT AND POTENTIAL MEMBERS, AS WELL AS TO THE BROADER EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE COMMUNITY; AND 3) EDUCATE THE PUBLIC, AT ALL LEVELS AND ACROSS ALL SECTORS, ON THE IMPORTANCE AND IMPACT OF THE EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCES, PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO SOCIETAL WELL-BEING. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THESE AREAS DURING THE 2019 FISCAL YEAR INCLUDE: EXPANDING EOS.ORG, A NEWS WEBSITE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING TRUSTWORTHY NEWS AND PERSPECTIVES ABOUT THE EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCES AND THEIR IMPACT, AS WELL AS A BI-WEEKLY NEWS MAGAZINE; REFRAMING AND RELAUNCHING THE SHARING SCIENCE PROGRAM, WHICH SEEKS TO EDUCATE AND EMPOWER SCIENTISTS TO SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE WITH THE PUBLIC.

PUBLICATIONS - AGU PUBLISHES 22 JOURNALS PRESENTING PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH PAPERS AS WELL AS NUMEROUS BOOKS. THESE PUBLICATIONS COVER THE EARTH SCIENCES, PLANETARY SCIENCES, SOLAR-TERRESTRIAL AND SPACE PHYSICS, AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. COVERAGE OF THE PAPERS HELP MAKE THESE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, AND MANY OF THE PAPERS ARE USED IN IMPORTANT ASSESSMENTS SUCH AS THE IPCC. ALL AGU JOURNALS AND SOME BOOKS ARE DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONICALLY VIA THE INTERNET; MOST STILL HAVE A MINOR PRINT COMPONENT. ONE OR MORE OF THE PUBLICATIONS REACH EACH OF THE AGU'S MORE THAN 60,000 MEMBERS.
