AGU Membership Benefits

A world of reasons to join AGU!

As an AGU member you will belong to a society of more than 50,000 individuals from over 135 countries uniting Earth, atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic, space, and planetary scientists. AGU provides a dynamic forum for the geophysical community through scientific journals, meetings, electronic mail, a weekly newspaper, scientific and technical committee activities, and several online data and information services.

Features of AGU Membership

• A subscription to Eos, AGU’s weekly newspaper for geophysicists. Eos carries articles on recent research, news, employment opportunities, meetings programs and reports, announcements of grants and fellowships, and AGU activities.
• Low member subscription rates to all AGU journals. AGU journals are priced to be affordable to individual scientists.
• A 30% discount off the list price of AGU books, maps, and special publications. This significant member discount reflects AGU’s commitment to providing scientific publications at prices individuals can afford.
• A subscription to Physics Today published by the American Institute of Physics. (New non-US members will receive an online subscription by default. The print subscription is available upon request.)
• Low member registration rates at AGU meetings and the ability to contribute the results of your work at these ongoing forums for the interchange of ideas and findings. AGU meetings provide perhaps the best mechanism for the total geophysical community to interact on current activities.
• A growing array of electronic data and information services.
• The opportunity to participate with your colleagues throughout the world in the advancement of geophysics.
• The opportunity to affiliate with one or more AGU Sections or Focus Groups representing the respective disciplines that together comprise the geosciences, each with its own specific programs.
