ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) is pleased to share its annual report, "View to the Future," which recounts the accomplishments of AGI and the geoscience community from October 2017 to September 2018.

 

"Geoscience provides the lens through which we most clearly view the possibilities of our world," writes AGI Executive Director Allyson Anderson Book. "As geoscientists, we understand that examining the past allows us to look ahead with enhanced certainty, capacity, and hope for the future."
