Geoscience Enterprise Rising

Proven Impact

Building on a history of collaborative leadership and nationally recognized AGI programs to scale for enterprise-wide impact.

The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) has over 75 years of demonstrated collaborative leadership, serving as the federation of geoscience societies, and has a track record of supporting the geoscience enterprise as a whole.

Signature strengths

  • GeoRef is the world’s most comprehensive geoscience database, with more than 4.8 million references.
  • Earth Science Week has engaged millions globally over more than 25 years.
  • Workforce intelligence reporting informs students, academia, and employers about the vitality and trends in the geoscience workforce.
  • Policy support includes fellowships, briefings, and trusted engagement with decision-makers.
  • Additional programs, services, and publications underpin the daily work of geoscience professionals.

Why this is different

Geoscience Enterprise Rising is not starting from scratch. It scales proven capabilities, connects these efforts and the community more intentionally, and orchestrates the process to show a unified geoscience enterprise that is impacting all members of the geosciences and society.

Enterprise outcomes

By connecting these efforts, the framework is supporting energy independence, critical mineral supply chains, hazard resilience, water management, infrastructure planning, and environmental stewardship.
