Contributors to Developing the Critical Needs of the Geosciences
The Critical Needs effort is a geoscience community initiative organized by the American Geosciences Institute as part of its federating function. Every four years, aligned with new presidential campaigns, the community has drafted policy documents to help the new administration and congress understand the ways the geosciences can support the nation’s needs. This is only made possible by the contributions of members of the geoscience community towards crafting these documents.
