The American Association of Geographers (AAG) is a professional organization founded in 1904 that promotes the study and teaching of geography. It serves as a platform for geographers to share research, collaborate, and engage in discussions about geographical issues. The AAG organizes annual meetings, publishes academic journals, and provides resources for educators and students in the field of geography. The AAG also focuses on advancing geographic research and education through various initiatives. It supports the development of geographic information systems (GIS) and encourages the integration of geography into public policy and planning. By fostering a community of geographers, the AAG aims to enhance understanding of the world and its diverse environments.
