The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the geophysical sciences through the support of scientific research, education, and dissemination of information. Founded in 1919, the AGU is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and serves a diverse community of researchers across the globe in areas such as atmospheric and ocean sciences, solid-Earth sciences, hydrological sciences, and space physics. The organization plays a pivotal role in fostering collaboration among scientists and institutions through its conferences, notably its annual Fall Meeting, which is one of the largest of its kind. AGU publishes a variety of scholarly journals and articles that contribute to a deeper understanding of Earth and environmental processes. Additionally, the AGU is committed to science advocacy and communication, aiming to ensure that scientific findings are effectively used to inform policy decisions and public understanding.
