Welcome!

Join us virtually online or in Fairbanks, Alaska for our 2022 Technical Conference. This conference will emphasize the strong relationship AGS and its members have with the University of Alaska geoscience programs, and the contributions of early Alaskan geologists that form a strong foundation for current and future research throughout the state. The Saturday conference will include an optional guided tour of the Museum of the North on the afternoon of the meeting.​
