Ladril Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 What are the most important scientific societies for geographers? Google is not as clear on this as I would like. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geographyrocks Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Well...AGU, AAG, GSA...and now my mind is drawing a blank. This website has a pretty good list: http://www.geosociety.org/links/ The three I listed are generally considered the "top" in the US.

I assume AGU is American Geophysical Union and AAG is Association of American Geographers. I'm not sure what GSA stands for, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyoutlier Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 How well known is ICCG? The International Conference of Critical Geographers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmu Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The ICCG is pretty a well known conference among critical geographers. However, it's not an annual conference or anything and it's not the only venue to present radical/critical work. The AAG Subconference and even the main conferences are good for that kind of thing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandarin.orange Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 What are the most important scientific societies for geographers? Google is not as clear on this as I would like. Thank you. I think it depends on what's best for your specialty. My background is more geology/geoscience so I've long been a member of the AGU and GSA; I tried the AAG for a year at my new institution and went to the annual meeting when it was local. I let the membership lapse afterwards...I felt the $55-65/year for student dues was a lot. That's double or more compared to the other societies I belong to. Most of them are better organized to be honest, thus providing better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
