About AGU Fall Meeting

The American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2024 Fall Meeting will be held in Washington, D.C., and online everywhere Dec. 9-13, 2024. The AGU Fall meeting is the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists; over 25,000 attendees from over 100 countries will convene.

The theme is: “What’s Next for Science.” Science has always been about the new. The now. The next. It’s what propels us, feeding our questions and inspiring our work. The constant question and answer form a rhythm, a cadence, a story. Science is a story. A story of infinite possibilities. A story of continuous discoveries. A story of hopeful solutions.
