AGU Fall Meeting 2020 - Shaping the Future of Science

Picture: AGU

The AGU Fall Meeting 2020 is scheduled to take place on the week of 7-11 December 2020 in San Francisco (CA). This year, the meeting will look a little different: the organizing team announced that AGU2020 will be mostly virtual, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but that it will feature the usual real-time sessions, networking events and poster halls, to guarantee the same experience even in remote conditions. The team stated that "the value that you have always experienced at Fall Meeting in-person will remain in our virtual version."

The abstract submission procedure is now open and you will have the chance to submit your contribution until July 29th, 2020.

To give you an easy start into the wonders of this year's programme of the AGU meeting, we prepared a list of sessions that might be of interest for our ESM community. The complete programme can be browsed at this link.
