AGI invites you to take part in Earth Science Week 2009! Being held
October 11-17, Earth Science Week 2009 will encourage people everywhere
to explore the natural world and learn about the geosciences.
“Understanding
Climate,” the theme of Earth Science Week 2009, will promote scientific
understanding of a timely, vital topic: Earth’s climate.
Also, anyone of any age can enter the International Year of Planet Earth & Earth Science
Week 2009 Photography Contest by October 16.
The photograph should focus on "Exploring Earth
Science Around the World."
"No matter where in the world you live, Earth science can
be found all around you. Just step outdoors, and you find it in rivers
and lakes, in the sky above you, and in the ground under your feet.
Earth science includes geology, oceanography, meteorology, hydrology,
paleontology, and other geosciences. Show people engaged in Earth science
exploration in the natural environment of your part of the world!"
