Welcome to AESE
Our goals are to strengthen the
profession of earth science editing; to
foster education; and to promote the
exchange of ideas of general and
specific problems of selection, editing,
and publication of research
manuscripts, journals, serials,
periodicals, and maps pertaining to the
earth sciences.
AESE supports International Year of Planet Earth
The AESE board voted in May to join other GSA allied and affiliated societies in supporting the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE), 2007-2009, an initiative of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designed to ensure greater use of the knowledge accumulated by the world's 400,000 earth scientists. A major goal of IYPE is to recognize and draw attention to the benefits of the earth sciences for society.
The international year has initiated a global focus on the earth sciences, and geoscience organizations are encouraged to commemorate events this year in honor of IYPE. During 2008-2009, the U. S. National Committee for IYPE aims to generate renewed interest, excitement, and greater awareness among the public, decision makers, and students about the need for geoscience knowledge and its benefits to society.
Participating organizations are encouraged to brand appropriate events with the IYPE logo and to post the logo and attached materials (flyer) on their Web sites. GSA will advertise the organizations' IYPE events on the U.S. IYPE Web site (http://www.geosociety.org/IYPE/index.htm) and the global IYPE Web site (http://www.yearofplanetearth.org/).
AESE held a session on IYPE at the 2007 annual meeting and plans a follow-up for the 2008 annual meeting. For more information on IYPE and its themes, the U.S. Earth Science Lecture Series, and the IYPE logo, see www.yearofplanetearth.org or contact Ms. Wesley Hill, USNC IYPE, secretary/treasurer, the Geological Society of America, (303) 357-1005, whill@geosociety.org.
