EESG Outreach Digest

[Maddy Kroot]

Hello all!

 

Here’s the latest Outreach Digest from the Energy and Environment Specialty Group (EESG). Please continue sharing things directly with the listserv and AAG Knowledge Community pages! This digest email is not meant to replace direct postings, and we’ll be pulling from those emails as we put together the digest.

 

You can also submit items directly by filling out this form or emailing Maddy Kroot (maddy...@wisc.edu).

 

You can also follow the Energy and Environment Specialty Group on our Bluesky account (@aag-eesg.bluesky.social) or on our website (https://www.eesg.org/home).

 

EESG News:

 

Are you organizing a session for AAG 2026? Would you like to request sponsorship by the Energy and Environment Specialty Group? Please complete this sponsorship request form

 

Note that effective March 31, 2025, the EESG leadership team voted to require all events, gatherings, happenings, or meetings to have a virtual option for participation in order to receive our official sponsorship. Virtual options include (but are not limited to) virtual streaming, hybrid sessions, with or without an option to have the have the event recorded for asynchronous viewing and future engagement. This decision was made to support the EESG's ongoing commitments to climate action, decarbonizing AAG meetings, and improving accessibility of EESG events to those who cannot be physically present.

 

Further questions about EESG sponsorship of sessions should be directed to the EESG email (aag....@gmail.com) or the current EESG secretary, Maddy Kroot (maddy...@wisc.edu).

 

Sponsorship requests will be reviewed on a weekly basis. You will hear back via email about your request. Upon email approval of your sponsorship request, you will need to manually add EESG sponsorship to your session within the AAG portal.

What is this email?

 

The Energy and Environment Specialty Group sends out a digest email every two weeks with events or opportunities we think might be of interest to the specialty group. This email is not meant to be an exhaustive list or to replace regular messaging on the EESG listserv, but as a way to compile information and resources together in one place.
