The American Geophysical Union (AGU) will celebrate its centennial in 2019. The AGU represents 60,000 geoscientists as members (including over 24,000 members outside of the USA with almost 2,600 from Japan) while reaching over 300,000 scientists through its global meetings and publications programs.

As geoscience has grown to know no borders, so has the AGU. Our Fall Meeting held in San Francisco includes scientists from almost 150 countries, and over half of the articles published in AGU journals are from lead authors outside the USA.
