Best wishes to all AIG members for the New Year.  Lets work to help make 2015 a productive and prosperous one for Australian geoscience.

There are a few exciting developments in preparation for 2015 including:

1. the relaunch of AIG Journal.  AIG’s rapid publication, peer reviewed geoscience publication will be back on-line very soon.
2. A new on-line shop for AIG publications, which will be online during January.  The shop will sell publications to non-members, while AIG members will have free access to a wide range of publications through the AIG Membership Portal.
3. A new-look AIG News, available on-line to members via the AIG Membership Portal and for sale to non-members through the Publications shop from February.
4. an excellent range of professional development opportunities covering a broad range of geoscientific fields.
5. networking opportunities throughout Australia.

Have you checked out AIG’s weekly compilation of popular geoscience articles yet?  AIGeoscope is updated every Monday and available here.

We will be continuing the monitor the employment situation for Australian geoscientists throughout the year and appreciate the ongoing support of both members and non-members by their continued contributions to what we feel is an important survey.  You Institute will also be continuing to represent members on important professional issues and committees, including JORC and VALMIN.

Is there anything you would like to see AIG do or introduce in 2015?  Have your say here or via the AIG Linkedin Group or Facebook page.  If there’s anything on your mind about Australian geoscience or your career have your say.  We’re listening.

AIG will continue to be a dynamic and responsive professional institute, representing the interests of members throughout Australia and internationally.
