We are excited to announce the official launch of a new group called 𝘼𝙨𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙄𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 (𝐀𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐢𝐆)! We are a grassroots, member-driven organization committed to building a community that supports AAPIs within geosciences.
We welcome all geosciences community members who self-identify as Asian American and/or Pacific Islander, as well as individuals of Asian- and/or Pacific Islander-descent working in U.S.-based institutions. Community members include undergraduates, graduate students, recent graduates in transition, post-baccalaureate, and prospective students, postdocs, faculty, educators, administrators, industry and non-profit professionals, federal or state employees, researchers, retirees, and more.
We define geosciences broadly as any discipline related to the study of Earth and the environment, including but not limited to research areas commonly found in Earth science and geography departments (e.g., geology, marine science, planetary science, atmospheric science, cryosphere science, environmental sciences, et cetera).
Allies who are interested in learning more about AAPI issues are welcome to join our email lists to receive announcements, information on events, and guidance on ways to support the AAPIiG community.
We have drafted a 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (

http://bit.ly/AAPIiG_CommunityGuidelines) with the help of several other AAPI community members, and welcome more comments, feedback, and help with defining our core mission and programming. Opportunities for providing feedback are on the second page.
