At the 2021 AGU Fall Meeting, more than 100 ASR-connected oral presentations, invited talks, and poster sessions will be shared with the scientific community
The 2021 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting offers a hybrid (in-person/virtual) format that allows attendees the chance to attend remotely if they are unable to travel to New Orleans, Louisiana. Virtual-only town halls were scheduled from December 6 to 9 (many recorded), and hybrid sessions are December 13 to 17.
With content spread out over two weeks to accommodate participants in person and those attending virtually, it might feel overwhelming to plan your AGU schedule. We make it easy for you to find ASR-relevant science during the meeting.
Below is a list of ASR-related AGU meeting highlights (all times Central). Information is subject to change; please check the AGU Fall Meeting website for the most up-to-date information. Follow the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility on Twitter (@armnewsteam) and Facebook (@arm.gov) for a real-time guide to ARM- and ASR-relevant activities using the hashtags #ARMAGU and #AGU21.
Go here to find more ASR-related presentations and posters, as well as sessions, talks, and posters related to ARM.
Add your presentation here to be featured on the ASR or ARM presentation web pages.
ARM is also hosting a virtual AGU booth, where you can get the full ARM AGU schedule, view facility materials, and meet with ARM representatives. Be sure to check out our booth in the Exhibit Hall! (See ARM’s exhibitor listing for more information.)
AGU has prepared an overview of the hybrid meeting experience. Go to the AGU Fall Meeting website to learn more about how the meeting will be structured.
ARM Flash Talks
Listen to ARM staff and users speak about a variety of topics, including recent field campaigns and upcoming ARM activities, in this series of flash talk videos.
Town Halls
These 60-minute events are open to all meeting attendees (those attending virtually as well as those attending in person) and are best for collecting feedback or raising awareness for individuals from government agencies, academic programs, special projects, and other focused interest groups via a presentation, roundtable, or panel discussion. Check out these town halls related to ASR, ARM, DOE, and relevant interagency work at the bottom of this page.
