These just a “taste” of professional and academic organizations that are not universities. Most are North American focus, but some are international (eg AGU, IEEE). There are also analogous European and Australian organizations. The formal professional regulators (under provincial jurisdiction in Canada – such as EGBC) are not included in this list.

1. AGI (American Geosciences Institute)
   1. Geosciences Careers Brochure and video.
      
   2. Infographic about the Geoscience Workforce from the Preparing Our Workforce (POW) initiative. Its goal is to help students entering the workforce redefine what it means to have a career in geoscience.
   3. Career compasses: These provide options, tips, suggestions, and strategies for pursuing critical skills, experiences, and competencies for geoscience careers. The collection is intended to grow with time.
2. AGU (American Geophysical Union):
   1. All EOS (AGU’s magazine) articles in the “Education & Careers” subject area.
   2. Individual geoscientists’ career profiles: 14 in July 2023, 19 in July 2022, 17 in Aug 2021.
   3. https://findajob.agu.org/ is a searchable collection of mostly academic or “higher level” scientific positions.
3. GROW, the “Geoscience Resources on Opportunities in the Workforce” website.
   1. GROW is a set of resources for students, mentors, and departments to explore non-academic careers pathways & occupations, to view career profiles, and to learn how to search for geoscience work positions.
   2. This sitemap shows the scope of content.
4. Geocareers: An online asynchronous course from the EarthScope consortium, designed to provide an overview of the geoscience profession, with specific examples in geophysical applications.
5. SERC, Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
   1. Introducing Geoscience careers: From the SAGE 2YC site at at SERC: resources for students. (SAGE 2YC = Supporting and Advancing Geoscience Education at Two-Year Colleges.)
      1. What do Geoscientists Do?
      2. Geoscience Degrees and Careers
      3. Employment in the Geosciences
      4. Employer Perspectives
      5. Professional Society Career Resources
         
   2. Explore SERC for other education and career-support resources.
6. Geoscientists Canada – home page.
   1. About this regulated profession; what geoscientists do, and how / why it is a registered profession.
   2. Plenty of information about careers, becoming a registered professional, practicing in Canada and more.
7. Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences
   1. A careers page; includes profiles/interviews of 9 different geoscience professionals.
   2. All about Earth sciences and earth science careers. This site is from 2009. Information about salaries and other details is of course out of date, but descriptive information is relevant and well presented.
8. Occupational Outlook for Geoscientists from the US Bureau of Labour Statistics:
   1. The focus is USA but relevant for North America. Comprehensive information is provided about: >What Geoscientists Do; >Work Environment; >How to Become a Geoscientist; >Pay; >Job Outlook; >State & Area Data; >Similar Occupations; >More Information including Links to O*NET.
9. Other professional societies – look for information they provide about careers, hiring, students, and similar topics.
   1. SEG, Society of Exploration Geophysicists
   2. GSA, Geological Society of America
   3. KEGS, Canadian Exploration Geophysics Society
   4. KEGS Foundation, the scholarship adjudication branch of KEGS
   5. Also search for “Canadian geophysics societies“.
   6. IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (international)
10. Oceanography links? Ask ocgy faculty
11. Atmospheric sciences links? Ask atsc faculty

Possible improvements for this page:

1. It could become an EOAS website page (e.g. via the career paths page) for public consumption (i.e. recruiting)? Information may evolve but probably not rapidly.
2. Long lists are rarely read. What alternatives for EOAS website or the Canvas site. Therefore consider a table of icons similar to the Career Pathways page at GROW, instead of this list.
3. Can interviews from EER 2023 be added?
