Please Consider Supporting Our Section

When you register for the meeting, please consider taking a few extra minutes to donate to the Biogeosciences Section. Donations support a wide range of activities, including travel and caregiver awards, which help increase diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Annual Meeting, as well as OSPA awards to honor student presenters, early career workshops, networking activities and more!

A contribution of $50 or more makes you an individual donor, which qualifies you for an incentive program that helps increase funds available for each section. More specifically, starting at 5% participation from primary affiliated Biogeosciences members, AGU will give our section additional funds for section-based activities. The greater the participation, the greater the contribution from AGU to our section!

Thank you everyone for your support.
