Overview
The Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) is the premier Earth and space science meeting in the world. This event draws scientists from across the globe. to San Francisco each year. This year there were more than 22,500 in attendance. The GSCE was well-represented this year: 5 oral presentations, 13 poster presentations, and 1 eLightning talk with lead authors or co-authors from the GSCE. In addition, there was a special session convened by a GSCE Senior Scientist with 1 oral and 1 poster session.
