The IAGD has two parallel interests: we’re interested in supporting educators and program managers who want to make their curricula accessible to everyone; we also want to promote and support disabled geoscientists. We’ve arranged our resources according to those parallel missions.

Interested in improving accessibility in the geosciences?

We have a few places for you to get started with learning about accessibility. Some of these tips are general, and apply to all settings and disabilities. Others are more specifically tailored to events, settings, or types of disabilities.
