Education & Careers
The Career Issue: OK, But Explain “Anything”
Our second annual Career Issue examines how an education in the Earth and space sciences can lead to a multitude of rewarding paths.
JGR: Planets Author Aboard the International Space Station
NASA Astronaut and planetary geologist Dr. Jessica Watkins recently published her post-doctoral Mars research in JGR: Planets, just prior to heading to the International Space Station.
High Schoolers Measure Earth’s Magnetism from Space
The experiment was one of the winning projects of the Astro Pi Challenge, in which hundreds of young scientists analyzed data collected from the International Space Station.
In Appreciation of AGU’s Outstanding Reviewers of 2021
AGU editors recognize the contributions of peer reviewers, whose expertise and dedication ensure optimal science communication within our journals.
Adventure Time
In our July issue, we tell the tales of Earth and space scientists as they venture into the field and lab to gather critical data.
After GRExit: Reducing Bias in Geoscience Graduate Admissions
Dropping the GRE is just a first step toward holistic admissions. To further reduce bias in applicant evaluations, the UMass-Amherst geosciences program has changed the way it assesses students.
Playing It Safe in Field Science
Researchers face many risks when working in the field. Documenting past and future accidents and safety incidents can help identify patterns and practices to keep scientists out of harm’s way.
Credit Where Credit Is Due
Promoting open, inclusive, transparent, and traceable science requires that scientists revamp the ways in which we acknowledge all manner of contributions to research.
Glacial Knowledge Gaps Impede Resilience to Sea Level Rise
Changes to the support, culture, and community organization of U.S. glaciology are needed to advance understanding of glacial change and better predict rising seas and other ice loss impacts.
