American Geosciences Institute Begins Using New Domain Name americangeosciences.org

Alexandria, Va. - The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) is proud to announce the adoption of a new domain name: www.americangeosciences.org. This change reflects both AGI’s heritage and recent developments in the geosciences.

Over 250,000 scientists with skills acquired through geoscience degree programs contribute to various aspects of U.S. energy production, resource development, environmental management, hazard mitigation, and education within the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The new domain name is a part of AGI’s efforts to represent all geosciences, which began with changing its name from the American Geological Institute to the American Geosciences Institute in 2012 and launching the “I’m a Geoscientist” campaign in 2013. This campaign has helped create a broad identity for Earth scientists in the public while reaching thousands of geoscience professionals and students through outreach and meetings hosted by AGI member organizations.

The revamped website at www.americangeosciences.org offers quick access to various resources produced by AGI and its member organizations, including information on AGI’s federal-level geoscience policy program, the Center for Critical Issues, Education Program products like Earth Science Week and curricular materials, GeoRef (the largest database of geoscience references), data reports on the geoscience workforce, career resources in the geosciences, a comprehensive list of member organizations with links to their websites, and information about leaders representing them at AGI.
