The American Geophysical Union (AGU) has published a collection of more than 25 essays as commentaries in its scientific journals highlighting the important role Earth and space science research plays in society.
The essays, covering a broad swath of scientific disciplines and written by notable scientists in their fields, discuss the critical role of research, the growing importance of data and the increasing globalisation of the scientific enterprise. Together, they highlight how Earth and space science research can help grow our economy and enable our society to thrive. An overview of the special collection is detailed in a blog post by AGU's journal editors, and AGU's director and assistant director of publications.
The collection comes as science is increasingly under threat in the United States and around the world and ahead of the forthcoming March for Science. AGU is one of nearly 200 partner organizations that have joined with science advocates, science educators, scientists and concerned citizens to advocate for evidence-based policymaking, science education, research funding and inclusivity as part of the March for Science.
