Since 1966, AGI has produced GeoRef, a literature database for those studying the earth sciences.[5] AGI operates the Center for Geosciences and Society.[6]
AGI's monthly magazine Geotimes became EARTH Magazine on September 1, 2008, with an increased focus on public communication of geoscience research. In April 2019, EARTH Magazine suspended publication[7] and was folded into Nautilus Quarterly.
The stated mission of AGI is to “represent and serve the geoscience community by providing collaborative leadership and information to connect Earth, science, and people.”[8]
