AGU GALVANIZES A COMMUNITY OF EARTH AND SPACE SCIENTISTS THAT COLLABORATIVELY ADVANCES AND COMMUNICATES SCIENCE AND ITS POWER TO ENSURE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE. 0 0 13223738 123120 13641426 MEETINGS - AGU has a diverse meeting portfolio that offers meetings of various sizes and formats. Most meeting participants present a poster and/or a talk on their latest scientific findings contributing to advancing Earth and Space science. Individuals must pay a registration fee to participate. The abstract submissions covering their presentations are published as part of the scientific program for each meeting and available via AGU's website. The AGU Fall Meeting is recognized as the leading meeting in the Earth and space sciences community with programming focused on inter- and multiple disciplinary sciences and policy and societal issues. It is the largest meeting in this field attracting more than 23,000 participants at the December 2016 meeting. The meeting generates hundreds of press and media stories about Earth and science sciences in prominent sources through distribution on the television, news print and through other electronic outlets. The 2016 Ocean Sciences Meeting was held 21-26 February 2016, with more than 5,000 attendees at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, located at 900 Convention Center Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70130. Cosponsored by AGU, ASLO, and TOS, the Ocean Sciences Meeting will consist of a diverse program covering topics in all areas of the ocean sciences discipline.The Chapman Conferences are small topical conferences that focus on current and emerging science issues. Five Chapman conferences were held in 2016 in four different countries with attendance ranging between 70 120 participants. 8557901 155163 Marketing COMMUNICATIONS AND Engagement - Marketing, communications and engagement programs seek to: 1) build and maintain AGU's reputation as a leader, collaborator and sought after partner within and outside of the Earth and space science community; 2) promote AGU and its programs, initiatives and services to current and potential members, as well as to the broader Earth and space science community; and 3) educate the public, at all levels and across all sectors, on the importance and impact of the Earth and space sciences, particularly as it relates to societal well-being. Major accomplishments in these areas during the 2016 fiscal year include: expanding Eos.org, a news website dedicated to providing trustworthy news and perspectives about the Earth and space sciences and their impact, as well as a bi-weekly news magazine; reframing and relaunching the Sharing Science program, which seeks to educate and empower scientists to share their knowledge with the public. 6138967 17229370 PUBLICATIONS - AGU PUBLISHES 20 JOURNALS REPRESENTING PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH PAPERS AS WELL AS NUMBEROUS BOOKS, AND CO-PUBLISHES TWO OTHER JOURNALS WITH OTHER SOCIETIES.
