The AGI Government Affairs Program (GAP), established
in 1992, serves as an important link between the federal government
and the geoscience community. Through Congressional workshops, testimony,
letters, and meetings, GAP ensures that the voices of the AGI Member
Societies are heard on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch. At
the same time, GAP is working to improve the flow of geoscience information
to policy-makers. Equally important is the program's mission of providing
federal science-policy information back to the Member Societies and
the geoscience community at large.
Position statements
prepared by AGI and its Member Societies provide a blueprint for guiding
the intersection of the geosciences and policy.
AGI and its Member Societies provide a blueprint for new U.S. leadership in "Critical Needs for the Twenty First Century: The Role of the Geosciences". The document provides a list of critical needs for natural resources, environmental quality and resiliency from risks and policy actions to meet these needs with the help of the geoscience community.
