AGI Publishes Directory of Geoscience Departments, 46th Edition

Alexandria, VA — The latest edition of the Directory of Geoscience Departments (DGD) — the definitive source for information about college and university geoscience departments in the United States and in 44 countries — has just been published by the American Geological Institute (AGI).

The Directory of Geoscience Departments, 46th Edition, provides a state-sorted listing of over 2,000 geoscience departments, research departments and institutes plus listings of their faculty and staff. The leadership of the major geoscience professional and scientific societies in the United States is included in this edition of the DGD along with information on 284 international departments in 44 countries.

For the third year in a row, the directory includes a statistics section derived from the data used to compile this publication. This section gives data on geoscience student enrollments and degrees granted, faculty demographics, field camps and average annual salaries. This section has been expanded for the 46th edition to include Geoscience Currents, data snapshots produced by AGI.

In addition to the information about geoscience departments, and faculty, the DGD includes listings of U.S. state geological surveys, professional and scientific geoscience societies, and contact information. Other valuable features include highlighted departments that are also listed in AGI’s comprehensive Online Guide to Geoscience Departments; and an expanded listing of federal agencies that employ or are of interest to geoscientists.

Published in soft cover (6" x 9"), the 648 page Directory of Geoscience Departments, 46th Edition (ISBN 0-922152-80-2), is available through the AGI publications department. To learn more about this book and other AGI publications please go to http://www.agiweb.org/pubs/index.html.
