About AGU
The American Geophysical Union (AGU), which was established in 1919 by the National Research Council and for more than 50 years operated as an unincorporated affiliate of the National Academy of Sciences, is now a nonprofit corporation chartered under the laws of the District of Columbia. The Union is dedicated to the furtherance of the geophysical sciences through the individual efforts of its members and in cooperation with other national and international scientific organizations.

AGU Fall Meeting: Promoting Discovery in Earth and Space Science
Every December, scientists from around the world gather in San Francisco to share their research, broaden their knowledge base, and connect with colleagues at AGU’s Fall Meeting. Forty-four years after the first meeting, the event continues to play an essential role in the success of AGU and our science. It is also a major contributing factor to our ability to achieve the goals outlined in the new strategic plan.
