For over three quarters of a century, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) has supplied an organizational framework within which geophysicists have created the programs and products needed to advance their science. AGU has evolved into an active community of over 45,000 scientists from 140 countries. The Union now stands as a leader in the increasingly interdisciplinary global endeavor that encompasses the Earth and space sciences.
AGU's mission is to:
- Promote the scientific study of Earth and its environment in space and to disseminate the results to the public,
- Promote cooperation among scientific organizations involved in geophysics and related disciplines,
- Initiate and participate in geophysical research programs,
- Advance the various geophysical disciplines through scientific discussion, publication, and dissemination of information.
