So Much Science!
This is the first AGU I have attended. Being a recent hire into the ARM program from Australia I had not been exposed to the larger geophysical symposiums. At the halfway point through the meeting, I can happily say it has been a most worthwhile event. The advantage of AGU is that a wide cross-section…
