Earth Science Week

This year marks the tenth annual Earth Science Week. With this theme, Earth Science Week activities will promote public and profession awareness of the status of earth science in education and society. The theme will also focus attention on geoscience research, such as that associated with the International Polar Year (IPY) and the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE), of which AGI is a Founding Partner. Through these major initiatives Earth Science Week will help spread understanding of the impact the earth sciences have on society.
