Your handy guide to education posters, presentations, sessions, and more at AGU 2017.
From December 11th through 15th, Earth scientists from around the world will convene in New Orleans for the 2017 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting. It's the single largest gathering of Earths science experts, which means there's a lot of content to navigate. Here's your road map for meeting up with NOAA educators, grant program managers, experts, and students at AGU 2017.
1. Stop by the NOAA booth.
Come visit us in booth 1025 in the exhibit hall. Our reach goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor. From daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, and climate monitoring to fisheries management, coastal restoration and supporting marine commerce, NOAA’s products and services support economic vitality and affect more than one-third of America’s gross domestic product. We will be showcasing data visualization technology and networking with conference attendees throughout the meeting.
2. Support the next generation of diverse geoscientists.
NOAA's Diversity and Advancement Working Group is convening as session on enhancing diversity and gender parity in the geosciences. This session addresses methods for broadening participation across underrepresented groups, reducing implicit bias, and the impacts of affinity/employee resource groups on increasing recruitment and retention.
