The Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU) showcases the excellent geoscience research of its pan-Canadian membership. CGU is also a community which welcomes a broad array of research topics and promotes inclusivity among its members. The equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) committee’s overarching goal is to identify ways that the CGU can better serve its community by addressing current EDI issues and challenges. The committee will report on its activities at the CGU Annual General Meeting held at the national conference each year. We will also post updates on our activities and relevant materials below.
We periodically reach out to the CGU membership when we are looking for new members. If you are interested in being involved in the committee’s work, please contact edi@cgu-ugc.ca.
