The Value of #AGU21

AGU Fall Meeting is the most influential event in the world dedicated to the advancement of Earth and space sciences. 

At AGU’s Fall Meeting, you will join a diverse community of scientists, students, journalists, policymakers, organizations, educators, and others for the world’s largest Earth and space science conference. We are united by our passion and relentless pursuit of knowledge. We are driven by the profound effects our work can have on others, our communities, our nations and our world. Together, we stand for advancing Earth and space science.
