Wednesday, December 7, 2022

The 2022 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting is continuing with a hybrid model, allowing participants to join either remotely or in-person in Chicago, IL. The conference, which attracts scientists from around the world to discuss the latest in geoscience research, will take place from December 12-16. In addition to all the presentations and talks from representatives of MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), two faculty members are participating in additional activities: Vice President for Research Maria Zuber will be a part of the Union Session Fostering International Research and Collaboration in 2023 and Beyond on Monday, 12/12, and Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Oceanography Raffaele Ferrari will be delivering this year’s Harold Sverdrup Lecture, titled Our Evolving Understanding of Ocean Turbulence on Tuesday, 12/13. Below is a schedule of some of the EAPS research being presented.

All times are listed in CST.
