AGI OUTREACH & NEWS
 The
AGI Outreach and Communications Program, established in 2000, focuses
on increasing understanding of the important contributions the earth sciences
make in the lives of people throughout the world. AGI sponsors an annual
Earth Science Week and a “popular” web site, Earth Science World, in cooperation
with its Member Societies and the U.S. Geological Survey to provide public
gateways to earth science information. The Outreach Program also works
to improve the flow of geoscience information to the news media, policy-makers,
AGI Member Societies, and the geoscience
community.
