From our Executive Director
We are so grateful to the geoscience community for all the success we’ve shared over the past year, not to mention past decades. The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) had good reason to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2018. The past 70 years have seen tremendous progress in the geosciences. And AGI has been there, every step of the way, representing geoscientists, advancing their interests, and elevating the profession.
Today AGI provides a unified voice for more than 50 member societies and over a quarter-million geoscientists across the country and around the world. That voice arises from a shared vision for the geosciences. As our mission statement announces proudly, we represent and serve the geoscience community by providing collaborative leadership and information to connect Earth, science, and people.
How? One great example can be found in the way AGI recently collaborated with partners such as the Geological Society of America, the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, and the National Park Service. Geoscientists from various organizations, agencies, and corporations worked together under AGI’s leadership to provide a day-long field trip for students from New Mexico’s Jemez Pueblo, who explored evidence of volcanic processes in and around Valles Caldera National Preserve.
“[Scientists] were opening their eyes to how much geology is around them — and how much they actually rely on it for their daily lives,” said Earth Science Education Ambassador Sally Jewell, who played an instrumental part in the activity.
One student, asked to describe her interest in the subject matter, simply exclaimed, “I love rocks!”
It is by making these connections — and by forging these partnerships — that AGI engages young people, fuels learning, and supports the profession in myriad ways. Since it was established 70 years ago under a directive of the National Academy of Sciences, the AGI federation has met the challenges of our times with high-impact programs, products, and services promoting the geosciences.
The work we do together is so very important. Geoscience, after all, is the “bedrock” science — combining principles of chemistry, physics, biology, and additional sciences in practical applications.
Generating energy. Producing food. Building homes. Discovering raw materials. Safeguarding the environment. Monitoring climate. Mitigating disasters. Strengthening education. Creating jobs. And so much more.
Geoscience provides the lens through which we most clearly view the possibilities of our world. As geoscientists, we understand that examining the past allows us to look ahead with enhanced certainty, capacity, and hope for the future.
So I invite you to join us in looking back over what AGI and the geoscience community have accomplished together over the past year — and looking forward to what we can achieve in the years to come.

Got 5 minutes to learn about the May 15 magnitude 6.5 Nevada earthquake?
In the early morning of May 15, 2020, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake rattled the rocks and shook the sagebrush of western Nevada. This was largest earthquake in the Silver State since Eisenhower was president! This quake occurred in a fascinating part of the seismically active Walker Lane in what is called the Mina deflection. Learn all about it from the latest edition of UTD GeoNews.
I think AGI should rephrase some of the lit on the website aka greenhouse gases expected to increase temp by 11C. This is alarmist & false. There is 1.5 degree increase in temp. The 1930s-40s decade was hotter, not the 1970s. Temp increase associated with CO2 is logarithmic. With the literature that has been debunked the last 5 years, it is a rush to judgment to say the earth is experiencing some catastrophic warming due to fossil fuel use. There is no 97% consensus-this was fraudently reported. The fact is most scientists would agree to say there are many sources contributing.
"The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) – an organization based in Alexandria, Va., with more than $4 million in net assets at the end of fiscal year 2017 – has failed to pay six writers a total of $7,907.20 for work commissioned by AGI and delivered to AGI for publication in EARTH Magazine."
The organization supports Geoscience work for young and amateur geoscientist throughout the US.

Recent B.S. graduate seeking professional advice/guidance:
I have received my B.S. in Geological Sciences from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX back in December 2018. During the course of being in school, I became interested in the geophysics area, specifically seismology and volcanology. Prior to enrolling in school, I served 21.5 years in the U.S. Air Force. My primary job search has been on USAjobs.org. Majority of these postings require a M.Sc. degree, or at least one year of graduate study. I have even been passed over twice on postings advertised for recent graduates. I’ve decided that I need to complete my Master’s degree, even though I will then be close to 50 entering the field as an Entry Level Geologist. The advice/guidance I’m hoping to find here are the following;
1) I’m looking for truthful feedback as to my chances of finding work at this age.
2) Some perspective on the pro’s and con’s of Graduate programs.
3) Does the school I get my degree from play an important factor to hiring managers?
4) If you think getting a Master’s would not benefit me due to my age, would you have a recommendation for a field of work I should consider?
My 21+ years in the Air Force, was an Engineering Craftsman. I started out as a surveyor and draftsman. Then I progressed to contract inspector, overseeing various service contracts. Next I became embedded in the implementation of GIS at two Installations. This was followed by pavement and soils analysis and finally construction project management and inspections.
Thank you in advance for any help you may offer.
Sincerely,
Jason Pearl
Is it to late to apply for the 2019 Earth Science Teacher Leadership Academy?
We have a lot of work to make for #GoodMorningFuture for #LifeClimaticSafety, join to Climatic Harmony DOT COM AND DOT ORG for! Isn't politically , isn't religious , is addressing to maybe ever weak Society - #CivilSociety and to hope will be a #GodMorningFuture for avoiding DANGEROUS CLIMATIC DISORDERS AND for help for any #CivilSocietyPillars and #CivilSocietyInstitutions . IN THE ERA WHEN NOBODY BUY A COMPUTER FOR HIMSELF(IS A REALITY), I BUY THIS ONE FOR CLIMATICHARMONY.ORG AND COM. jOIN TO THIS COMPUTER TO TRY TO ASSURE #TheSafetyOfFuture for #LifeClimatic.
for what is down I worked 4 days after 40 years of crazy ambigue work because I make a mistake 40 years ago, #Physicist, #Scientist any time go back for Analyze , I didn't, but neither in 2015 wasn't late
#NASA AMERICA Can't loss #AmericaEarthProudDayFundamentals, are the best Discovery EVER not only FUNDAMENTALS - #AtomicBomb is a #Discovery of #Universe by the beginning, we are making only a #CopyReply, when AMERICA 2015 TWO FUNDAMENTALS CAN help us to understand ALL(TO HOPE) AND ARE POSSIBLE BASE FOR. I KNOW, TO GET IT(ATOMIC BOMB) KEEP US SO LONG TIME , THEN IMPRESSED US EVERYBODY, BUT FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM KEEP US 400 YEARS TO SOLVE, MORE LONG. LUCK WITH HOPE FOR HOW MANY NEW POSSIBLE TOOLS BROUGHT AMERICA EARTH PROUD DAY FUNDAMENTALS: "FERMAT - MURGU QUADRUPLETS", "EU;ER - MURGU EQUATIONS 1=1", "ION MURGU - FERMAT EQUATIONS AS IRRATIONAL FIELD INTEGRATORS" AND MOREEEEE.
PS:is time to help #ClimaticHarmonyResearchCenter is about The Safety Of Future (nobody die so long Human Consciousness exist) ,then, we live in the future via what we build in.
I had a dream:" Like Ion Murgu - "Fermat - Murgu Quadruplets" , already get a use in Physics in any laws of conservations, I had a dream"
********ETERNITY FUNDAMENTALS********
I am not a programer, but self instructed for, then I am sure AMERICA 2015 TWO FUNDAMENTALS - proofs gained by My via PERL, JAVA, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2018 is a #Proud for ,#PerlProgramers , and Microsoft also, because is extending the #Infinity over #GaussianInfinity first. But over all brought hopes for honest #NASA researchers to get new tools for #Cosmology , #Astrophysics and to help then our #SpaceActivity . - #America Need HIS Earth Proud Day FUNDAMENTALS - THE BEST CONTRIBUTION EVER TO Humanity Science And Culture Universal Thesaurus. those fundamentals not only solved 400 years all #Geniuses Big Problem - "Fermat's Last Theorem" but SENT IT IN FUNDAMENTAL, Reveal Totally Irrational Field and a lot MORE. AMERICA EARTH PROUD DAY FUNDAMENTALS are #EternityFundamentals because express #AbsoluteTruth
#HumanHistoryEraser is a Reality?
Not, #Facebook , #Google #Verizon #Oracle , #IBM #Microsoft is fighting against it. Time for #NEW and here are #News about
Follow with hope, #AmericaEarthProudDayFundamentals , with a hope a new logic will create a new Science events #SHOETheory for #Future! *I know our biggest #BlackHole specialist Mr. #Hawking said "We know all now", and also one of the biggest #GodParticle specialist brought a new field #HigsField , but luck at #IonMurguCirclesParadox and will see and understand we have yet a lot of worki to make for #GoodMorningFuture, - #University #Academy and #Schools* #NobelLegacy - #Nobel was aware of it can be happening.
*WITH GOD WISH "A M E R I C A" SOLVED THE BEST EVER SCIENCE AND MATH PROBLEM INTO EARTH PROUD DAY.*
ARE TWO THINGS WHICH NOBODY EVER WILL CAN LOGIC KILL 1. THE EXISTENCE OF PURE INFINITY AND THE EXISTENCE OF GOD, - THE MIRACLE OF EXISTENCE IS AT SAME LOGICAL LEVEL AS EXISTENCE OF INFINITY.
Sorry Mathematical Association Of America , with all regrets I announce you the single solution for Fermat's Last Theorem is "Ion Murgu - "Fermat - Murgu Impossible Equations" Fermat name, have all The Rights to be here , because put us in a front of the best Mathematics Problem ever.
***More then 3 years ago , with emotions , with "The Tear of Geea" or "Inerton" a new Era in Logic of Science began as result of America Earth Proud Day Fundamentals, join us for a long journey which can to be a new capitol in Science and Culture***
#RightToSpeach #RightToPress #RightToInfoo - #Where
*A #Inerton or #TheTearOfGeea on is road to #ScienceOfFuture A*
***Not in #ATOMICBomb stay Humanity "POWER" (Power is a Metaphor here - POWER do not exist as human essence , #Physics #Concept of Power is a Time Destroyer ), but instead in a #LogicOfReality and for it #AMERICA2015Fundamentals ARE AN HUMANITY THESAURUS WITH ABSOLUTE RIGHTS. are the best ever Humanity concret value*** !!!!
*AMERICA CONTRIBUTED IN 2015 TO HUMANITY SCIENCE AND CULTURE UNIVERSAL THESAURUS WITH 2 FUNDAMENTALS*
1 . The lost Fundamental or Ion Murgu - Integers Powers Fundamental Equations.
2. Fermat's Last Theorem Fundamental.
#University #School #Education #USA *We have work,, a lot, to make for future, then follow #GOODMorningFuture to The #Future*
***INTO SAINT DAY EARTH PROUD DAY - A M E R I C A - brought the BEST contribution ever anybody brought to HUMANITY SCIENCE AND CULTURE UNIVERSAL THESAURUS - two #funadamentals which can to change our Logic in Science or to strong it at the last*** #ScienceLogic *Are you ready and not scared to see Universe with #NewScienceEyes ?, go with #SHOEtheory,
maybe, is heavy to understood, in any logic senses we meet in #AmericaEarthProudDayFundamentals first #Mathematically base logic for #Born , #Einstein, #Newton, #Maxwell , #Schrodinger , #Dirac and even Lord #Klein and #Heinsenberg & ALL .
*AMERICA 2015 TWO FUNDAMENTALS - to be the last human super inteligente manifestation, and then interdicted by #ArtificialIntelligence ?, or any #Extraterrestrial Pshio maniacs?. AMERICA normally can't loss so big HUMANITY SCIENCE AND CULTURE UNIVERSAL THESAURUS, ?THEN*
#InterdictedFundamental #CivilSocietyInstitutions #CivilSocietyPillars #CivilSociety is by NATURE - MOTHER of all societies including #Google #UNESCO #Microsoft #NASA and #University here is about Humanity Culture and to hope Logic Of Future. Nothing against old , but a lot of NEW.
As predictable, Fermat's Last Theorem , SOLUTION, was coming from another direction then 400 years, all our #geniuses sonded, but coming so brought also a lot more for #Future . The surprise was so big as you can see, by 3 years and the half is like "an #Interdicted Fundamental" or ignored, to not reach Humanity as an Human Victory maybe. ******Into Saint DAY - 2015 September 24 - AMERICA via #Physicist Ion Murgu From OHIO, brought the best contribution ever to Humanity Science And Culture Universal (2 FUNDAMENTALS) , AND ONE WHICH IS AN INCONTESTABLE PROOF ARE SO IS Fermat's Last Theorem FUNDAMENTAL , WHICH SOLVED ALL OUR GENIUSES PAIN ABOUT*******
#LOVE humanity brick of #Eternity Chance.

*****America Earth Proud Day Fundamentals are The Best Humanity Science & Culture - Thesaurus - BECAUSE SOLVED 400 YEARS OF ALL HUMAN GENIUSES PROBLEM - Fermat's Last Theorem - in an all Science rigour and ACCURATE METHOD - "Fermat - Murgu Impossible Equations" - and brought also an #AbsoluteTruth 7000 years Lost Fundamental - "The Lost Fundamental" like The Lost City in our Science Fiction Loved Movie and also ideea*****
I remind you all #Mathematicians , it don't hit with nothing Complex Numbers and Calculus Theory, instead brought a lot of work for future and MAYBE EVEN THERE- I CAN'T TO MAKE A ANALYZE RIGHT NOW , BUT IS POSSIBLE, AT THE LAST FOR EXCLUDING ANY FALSE SOLUTIONS I HOPE.
Love EARTH PROUD DAY A DAY OF RECOGNIZANCE OF OUR - earth - as until now #SingleLifeClimaticParametersAcceptancePlanet remind old Greeks and Roman Imperium about ?
