The annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, AGU24, was held in Washington D.C. from December 9 through 13. More than 25,000 scientists, communicators, students, teachers, and policymakers attend AGU every year to learn about new science.

The largest Earth science meeting, USGS had a large presence at booth #912 where they spoke to conference attendees about USGS research.  Hundreds of USGS scientists were in attendance to discuss their work across a multitude of disciplines including climate science, natural hazards, Earth resources, mapping, and energy and minerals. 

Scientists from the USGS New England Water Science Center attended this year to give presentations about their research in water science at AGU24:
