[Geoldept] FW: I'm a Geoscientist

[Theresa Tripp]

Greetings,

I hope you will share this with your students and encourage them to sign up and receive their own free lapel pin stating "I'm a Geoscientist." Just send them to the following link https://www.americangeosciences.org/content/be-part and they can be part of increasing the visibility and diversity of the profession. It has two clasps on the back to make it nice and secure and an image of the pin is attached!!

AGI started the "I'm a Geoscientist" campaign to celebrate that all scientists who study the earth are geoscientists, even if they approach it from different perspectives and methods. AGI, the umbrella organization to 51 different geoscience member societies, works with the community to increase the public awareness of the vital role the geosciences play in society's use of resources, resiliency to natural hazards and interaction with the environment.

The pin features a glyph that attempts to capture the full breadth of the geosciences while conveying a sense of convergence to represent how the AGI federation brings all parts of the geosciences together. Each color represents a different part of the geosciences community: red is deep-earth geosciences, gold is crustal geoscience and surface processes, blue is for oceans, surface, and groundwater, green is for life. These colors form a horizon of the globe. The light blue is for atmospheric sciences and black is for space and planetary sciences, which are part of the greater geoscience community represented by AGI through its Member Societies.

If there is anything AGI can do for you, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks for your time.

Regards,

John
