Abstract

Two AGU advocacy panels—one focusing on natural hazards and one on data issues—are working to develop and recommend position statements for adoption by the Union's Council. Operating under the Union's advocacy guidelines, the finished statements will be forwarded to the Council for comment and then a vote. Concurrence of two‐thirds is required for adoption.The Union adopts positions of advocacy on geophysical science issues based on their intrinsic merits and needs. As a scientific society, AGU does not take or advocate public positions on issues extending beyond the range of available geophysical data or recognized norms of legitimate scientific debate. Public positions adopted by AGU and statements on its behalf must be based on sound scientific issues and must reflect the interests of the Union as a whole.
