Program and Sponsors

This meeting provides an outstanding opportunity for researchers, teachers, students, and consultants to review the latest issues affecting the Earth, the planets, and their environment in space.

American Geophysical Union (AGU) is a society of 31,000 members with purposes of advancing progress in the Earth, atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic, and space and planetary sciences. AGU is dedicated to fostering high-quality scientific research, disseminating the results of that research, enhancing educational opportunities in science, and encouraging international cooperation in geophysics.

Mineralogical Society of America (MSA) provides a forum for individuals interested in mineralogy, crystallography, and petrology.

Geochemical Society (GS) encourages the application of chemistry to the solution of geological and cosmological problems.

Baltimore

Baltimore's renaissance has transformed the city into a fabulous playground where visitors can fully enjoy themselves. Most of Baltimore's attractions are located within walking distance of the Convention Center, AGU's designated hotels, and the Inner Harbor.

During your free time you can explore the wonders found at the National Aquarium, home to more than 5,000 specimens of aquatic life. Discover hands-on exhibits and see fascinating shows in the Davis Planetarium and the five-story IMAX Theater at the Maryland Science Center. Climb aboard the decks of the U.S. submarine Torskand the U.S. Frigate Constellation, the oldest American warship continuously afloat. Enjoy the shops in the twin pavilions of Harborplace with its multilevel gallery, a modern mecca of food, fashion, and style.

Evening diversions include a glorious array of international cuisine and native Maryland seafood specialties that offer endless dining options. Pub-hopping in historic Fell's Point or dancing at one of the many clubs are also popular pastimes.

Baltimore is a thriving new city with an incredible history and the friendliest people around - and it's yours to explore!
