The Geophysics Department had a strong presence at the American Geophysics Union (AGU) annual meeting held December 11-15 in San Francisco. Eleven students attended along with several postdocs, research associates and academic faculty members. Poster sessions, captured here, covered a broad spectrum of topics, demonstrating the strength of Department research.
The AGU Fall Meeting is the world’s largest Earth and space science meeting held annually. It brings together over 25,000 attendees from various fields, including geology, geophysics, climatology, oceanography, and planetary sciences, representing more than 100 countries. Researchers, scientists, educators, students, policymakers, exhibitors, journalists, and communicators attend this event to share research findings, network, and gain a better understanding of the planet, our environment, and our role in preserving its future.
