Earth Science Week

[1] The events are partially funded and sponsored by the USGS, the National Park Service, and NASA, as well as additional geoscience-oriented agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private corporations.

These events are sponsored by AGI member societies, state geological surveys, colleges and universities, public and private schools, museums, parks, and other organizations and businesses with interests in Earth science.

The photo contests are designed to encourage K-12 students, teachers, and the general public to get involved in the celebration by exploring artistic and academic applications of Earth science.

AGI works with state geological surveys to secure gubernatorial proclamations to be made for each year's Earth Science Week.

AGI has obtained Presidential proclamations for Earth Science Week in past years from Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
