2020 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting

Published: 23 July 2020

Sessions for the 2020 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting are being announced. If you will be leading a session relevant to the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility or Atmospheric System Research (ASR), please let us know. We are collecting this information to be shared on the ARM and ASR websites as it is provided.

The following sessions are being convened by your colleagues at the AGU Fall Meeting for your abstract consideration. This year’s meeting will be virtual, with most programming concentrated from December 7 to 11, 2020. To minimize scheduling conflicts, AGU will extend events around the meeting from December 1 to 17. Abstracts are being accepted until July 29.
