ogists is an organization of the past and present chief executives of the state geological surveys
This is a test
in 50 states and Puerto Rico. The AASG was formed in 1879 to advance the scientific and practical application of geology and related earth sciences in the United States, and to improve methods of assembling and
disseminating data and information to the mining, energy, engineering, agriculture, utility, construction, insurance and
banking industries, educational institutions, civic and professional organizations, legislators, governmental agencies, and
the public.
The responsibilities of the various state surveys differ from state to state. While all function as a basic geoscience information source, many have regulatory responsibilities for water, coal, oil and gas, mineral development, land reclamation,
geologic hazards, etc.
This meeting provides a valuable opportunity to meet one-on-one with members of this influential group, encourage
applied research, formulate partnerships, and address issues important to you and your industry. Many of these groups
are engaged in industry-specific research, from mining issues to gas hydrates, and from unconventional oil and gas development issues to geologic hazards; the organizations represented by the AASG membership shape the discussion, direct
research, and influence, develop, and apply regulations covering a wide array of geology-related activities.
Sponsoring this conference provides a unique opportunity to access the leaders of these geoscience organizations, who
set the direction for geoscience research in their states and, through long-established and strong ties to federal agencies,
influence the direction and priorities of federal geoscience research. In addition to the chief executives of state geological
surveys, conference attendees frequently include leaders from related federal agencies. Sponsorship allows you to:
• Support an organization representing 50 state agencies whose missions directly support the geoscience
industries
• Network with leaders who influence, promulgate, or apply regulations
• Learn about the latest geoscience issues and topics
• Discuss and influence current and future research that could
influence your industry
• Find organizations with the capabilities to address your
research needs
We hope you choose to join us. Please contact me to take
advantage of the opportunity to sponsor this unique event.
