For Immediate Release
Contact: Geoff Camphire [log in to unmask]

Alexandria, VA – The American Geological Institute has launched the “Pulse of Earth Science,” an innovative website on the status of earth science education as part of Earth Science Week 2007.

AGI has collected up-to-the-minute data on teacher certification requirements, earth science courses required by middle and high school students, enrolment levels, and state science standards.  The catalog of this data is the centerpiece of the “Pulse of Earth Science” website.

An Advocacy Guide is also available as part of the “Pulse of Earth Science” website.  This guide offers detailed recommendations to promote earth science education within your state and local school systems.

To view the status of earth science education in your state visit http://www.agiweb.org/education/statusreports/2007.

The information presented on the “Pulse of Earth Science” website is based on available data collected from numerous sources, including state education agencies and federal education reports.  You are invited to help update information by emailing [log in to unmask]

The American Geological Institute is a nonprofit federation of 44 geoscientific and professional associations that represents more than 120,000 geologists, geophysicists and other earth scientists. Founded in 1948, AGI provides information services to geoscientists, serves as a voice of shared interests in the profession, plays a major role in strengthening geoscience education, and strives to increase public awareness of the vital role the geosciences play in society's use of resources, resiliency to natural hazards, and interaction with the environment.
