Association for Women Geoscientists

The Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) is a non-profit organization founded in 1986 to promote the professional development and advancement of women in the geosciences. The organization aims to provide a supportive network for women geoscientists, encourage their participation in the field, and advocate for gender equity in the geosciences. AWG offers various programs, scholarships, and resources to empower women and foster their contributions to the geoscience community.

AWG has a rich history of engaging women in geoscience through mentorship, networking opportunities, and outreach initiatives. The organization has established local chapters across the United States, facilitating connections among members and promoting awareness of women's contributions to the geosciences. Through its efforts, AWG seeks to inspire the next generation of female geoscientists and address the challenges they face in a traditionally male-dominated field.
