🔬Science must remain free from political interference. As Editors-in-Chief of AGU Publications, we reaffirm our commitment to rigorous, independent, and inclusive Earth and space science research. A diverse scientific community strengthens discovery and solutions for society.

Carleton University and the IAGD are putting on an accessible geology field trip on May 11, 2025. We hope you can join us! Details on the attached flyer. Apply at shorturl.at/DkBOO or contact [email protected] for more information.

As #DisabledInSTEM, I benefitted from the NSF GRFP as I entered graduate school knowing I would have funding. As someone with a disability, it can be difficult to find a lab and a PI who is willing to spend so much money on you. With my own funding, came independence. #StandUpForScience2025

GeoSPACE is the only accessible for-credit geology field course in the US and we need your help! Help us keep this camp financially accessible for students by donating at the link below through 2/20 and typing "geospace" in the text box at the bottom of the form. givingday.ufl.edu/campaigns/ge...
