ALEXANDRIA, VA - The latest edition of the Directory of Geoscience Departments (DGD) - the definitive source for information about college and university geoscience departments in the United States and in 44 countries— has just been published by the American Geological Institute (AGI).

The Directory of Geoscience Departments, 44th Edition, provides a state-sorted listing of 2,023 geoscience departments, research departments and institutes and their faculty and staff. The leadership of the major geoscience professional and scientific societies in the United States has also been added to this edition of the DGD. This edition lists non-U.S. departments in 44 countries. A statistics section derived from the data used to compile this publication is included for the first time. In addition to information about geoscience departments, their faculty, and the faculty specialties, the DGD includes listings of U.S. state geological surveys, professional and scientific geoscience societies, and faculty contact information. Other valuable features include departments that are also listed in AGI’s comprehensive Guide to Geoscience Departments; the most recent enrollments and degrees granted; and an expanded listing of federal agencies that employ or are of interest to geoscientists.
