Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists

What Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists does

The Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists (AEG) is a US-headquartered, private nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1957 and operated from Brunswick, USA. It serves practitioners in environmental geology, engineering geology, and hydrogeology, along with geosciences students, through a portfolio that includes the peer-reviewed E&EG Journal, the AEG News and biweekly 'Insider' newsletter, field course guidebooks and special publications, a Job Board, webinars, licensure resources (including ASBOG exam preparation), and an Annual Meeting alongside regional chapter events.

AEG generates revenue across five streams: recurring membership dues from professionals, students, and corporate members; transaction fees from chapter meetings, the Annual Meeting, field trips, and webinars; publication and merchandise sales through an E-Store; corporate sponsorship and advertising placements; and job-board posting fees. Pricing is modest and tiered — for example, Inland Empire Chapter meetings run $45 for members / $50 non-members / $10 students, and ASBOG exam prep webinars are free for members and $20 for non-members.

AEG pursues a community-led go-to-market model, reaching and retaining members through regional chapters, student chapters at universities, technical working groups (Landslides, Coastal Hazards, Geologic and Seismic Hazards, Tunnelling, etc.), and educational outreach such as the Jahns Distinguished Lecturer and Visiting Professional Program. The organization is governed by a member-elected Board of Directors (Paul Weaver serves as 2025-2026 President) and is internationally affiliated through IAEG (4,857+ members across 68 national groups) and domestically partnered with AGI, the GeoCoalition, and GSA's Engineering Geology Division. No external investors or parent company were identified.

Direct peers

• American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG): AIPG is a professional association focused on credentialing and advocacy for practicing geologists. It directly competes with AEG for the same licensed geology practitioner members and offers overlapping certification and policy resources.
• National Ground Water Association (NGWA): NGWA is a US-based professional association for groundwater professionals, overlapping with AEG's hydrogeology members. It offers competing certifications, conferences, and continuing education for the same audience.
• American Geosciences Institute (AGI): AGI is a federation of geoscience associations that AEG is a member of. AGI provides information services, advocacy, and education across the geosciences and shares AEG's mission of supporting the profession at a meta-association level.
• International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG): IAEG is the international parent organization for engineering geology of which AEG is a national member. It serves the same practitioner base globally with similar publications, congresses, and technical working groups.
• International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH): IAH is the international scientific and professional organization for hydrogeology, overlapping directly with AEG's hydrogeology segment. Both organizations publish journals, host conferences, and serve groundwater professionals.

Emerging players

• Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME): SME serves mining and exploration professionals with technical content overlapping on geological site characterization. While mining-focused, it shares some practitioner overlap with AEG's environmental and engineering geology audience.

Broad incumbents

• American Geophysical Union (AGU): AGU is a large international scientific society covering geophysics, atmospheric, and earth sciences. While broader in scope than AEG, AGU overlaps on hydrogeology, environmental geoscience, and applied geology audiences.
• Geological Society of America (GSA): GSA is the largest geoscience professional society in the US and co-sponsors AEG's Jahns Distinguished Lecturer program through its Engineering Geology Division. It addresses a broader geoscience audience but overlaps heavily on engineering geology content.
• Geological Society of London: The Geological Society of London is the UK's premier earth science society with global influence, overlapping with AEG on engineering geology publications, events, and chartered geologist credentials.

Regional players

• Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (Australia): AEG Australia is a regional counterpart serving the same professional niche as AEG in Australia. It mirrors AEG's chapter model, technical meetings, and member services in a separate geography.
