A significant number of URI GSO faculty, staff and students will present their research at the 2020 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. #AGU20 is scheduled from December 1-17 to accommodate over a thousand hours of virtual content to minimize conflicts while maximizing global engagement. Scientific program content will be available on-demand, with pre-recorded oral presentations and virtual posters available for attendees to view and peruse outside of the scheduled live Q&A sessions during the meeting.
Below is a list highlighting where you can hear from members of the GSO community throughout the meeting.
