These problems have created a global need with one another and to identify areas ripe for for scientifi c innovation and collaboration, as many collaboration. That is why I’m so proud of the work of the solutions will be rooted in scientifi c research. of AGU has done in 2013 to expand the reach of Understanding these challenges, like the availability of our science for the benefi t of humanity. natural resources, such as water, minerals, or energy, or the devastating impact of climate change and natural AGU disseminated groundbreaking research through hazards, can help us better manage the risk and fi nd our high-impact journals and world-renowned meetings sustainable solutions.

Similarly, AGU invested tremendous effort in 2013 to make sure science not only was available but was communicated in a way the general public could understand, identify with, and be motivated by. Through 64 press releases that covered issues such as climate change, natural disasters, and major events in space, AGU was a valuable resource for reporters looking to more broadly inform society about the sciences. AGU also equipped members with the skills needed to communicate their work to an array of audiences through workshops, online resources, and speaking opportunities available through AGU’s Sharing Science program.

AGU is a hub for scientific expertise on everything AGU launched its from the Earth’s core to the farthest exoplanets. In second open access 2013, AGU used its strong standing in the scientific journal, Earth’s Future. community to expand the reach of science through its journals, meetings, and cooperation with other organizations.

ILLUMINATING DISCOVERIES: AGU JOURNALS

A publishing innovator, AGU disseminates groundbreaking research through its 19 journals and in 2013 focused on increasing the readership of these publications. Through its partnership with Wiley, AGU has expanded its reach to a growing international audience, including scienti c communities in Europe, China, Japan, and the United States. Also with Wiley, AGU took part in Research4Life, enabling the organization to oer free or low-cost access to AGU publications in more than 100 countries in the developing world. As a result of these eorts, an average of 500,000 AGU full-text journal articles were accessed online each month in 2013, up signi cantly from the previous year.

PROMOTING INNOVATION: AGU MEETINGS

AGU meetings foster innovation by providing a unique platform for attendees to learn about new science and connect with individuals whom they otherwise wouldn’t meet. With a total record attendance of almost 23,000, the 2013 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco brought together scientists, policymakers, educators, students, and industry representatives. True to AGU’s interdisciplinary focus, the meeting’s sessions covered the entire span of Earth and space sciences, from atmospheric sciences to seismology. Over ve days, attendees were able to choose from more than 20,000 presentations submitted by luminaries in the Earth and space sciences and up-and-coming talent, participate in more than 25 career workshops, and have dozens of opportunities to network with peers.

The meeting’s Twitter hashtag—#AGU13—was used more than 24,000 times increased over the past five years. and touched more than 45 million Twitter accounts. Driving the coverage was captivating content: scientists revealed the coldest place on Earth (a high ridge in Antarctica), unveiled new clues about possible life in the solar system (a lake bed on Mars), and earned other high-interest headlines.

The Fall Meeting included a number of revolutionary eorts to engage attendees and other interested parties, including FM Buzz, a social media aggregator that allowed everyone— whether or not they were able to attend—to nd news, blogs, tweets, and other mentions generated from the Fall Meeting.

Similarly, AGU’s Meeting of Americas (MOA) in Cancun, Mexico, brought together more than 1,000 Earth and space scientists from across the Americas to share their research. Fourteen scienti c societies collaborated on the meeting, which included a much-heralded planetarium exhibit called the “Discovery Dome” and featured presentations that attracted the general public and meeting participants, including “Cosmic Mysteries,” “Destination: Moon,” and “Amazing Astronomers from Antiquity.”

SHARING SCIENCE: CONNECTING SCIENTISTS & THE PUBLIC

As part of AGU’s e ort to promote widespread awareness of Earth and space science and its value, AGU’s Sharing Science program provides scientists with the opportunities, tools, and support they need to e ectively communicate their science to many audiences. The Sharing Science website (www. sharingscience.agu.org) o ers toolkits, guides, and upcoming opportunities for scientists interested in sharing their research and its value with the media, the public, policymakers, and other interested parties.

As part of the Virtual Options Program, presentations from the Chapman Conference on Communicating Climate Science held in June were live streamed, with one session presented remotely by a speaker in the United Kingdom. Live blogging and Q&A opportunities were also incorporated into the Chapman Conference sessions.

Following these successes, the Virtual Options technology was deployed at the 2013 AGU Fall Meeting, giving presenters a global reach that extended the meeting’s life well past the ve days in San Francisco. At more than 50 remote sites around the world, researchers watched plenary and oral sessions live and engaged in group discussions. ePosters enabled viewers around the world to view thousands of the posters presented at the Fall Meeting.

FACILITATING MEMBER GROWTH: AGU FELLOWSHIPS

AGU sponsors congressional and mass media fellowships to give young scientists, engineers, and other professionals opportunities to explore new ways to apply their training and represent the scientific community on Capitol Hill and in the media.

Knowing the benefits of ensuring that Congress craft policy with sound scientific input, AGU has sponsored yearlong Congressional Science Fellowships for decades. In 2013, AGU selected Congressional Science Fellows Aaron Goldner and Daniel Pomeroy, who went on to work for Senators Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Edward Markey of Massachusetts, respectively.

“As an AAAS- and AGU-sponsored Mass Media Fellow, “As a formally trained climate scientist, I was able to you bring a level of expertise (to the newsroom) that is utilize my knowledge to help Sen. Whitehouse’s office valued immediately. One of the best parts is that you get address important issues in climate change.

Since 1997, AGU has partnered with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to sponsor a Mass Media Fellowship. At least one university student is awarded a 10-week summer internship at a newspaper, magazine, website, or broadcast or cable news department.

AGU’s 2013 Mass Media Fellow, Mike Osborne, a paleoclimatologist, spent the summer working as a science reporter in the KQED (San Francisco) radio newsroom.

AGU is an international organization representing more than 62,000 Earth and space scientists in more than 140 countries.

The research conducted by our members encompasses everything from the exploration of The work of the private sector oƒen intersects with our science, natural hazards, disasters, and natural resources to the exploration of the planets, to studies of the structure and chemical composition of the Earth’s deep interior and oceans, to and we recognize that because of that intersection, fostering a understanding the Earth’s atmosphere and the causes of climate change. These topics are more collaborative and mutually supportive relationship with not only scienti cally exciting but also highly relevant to society, industry, and public policy. the private sector is critical to our ability to be successful.
