NASA researchers will present new findings on a wide range of Earth and space science topics at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), Dec. 10-14 in Washington. NASA-related briefings will stream live on the agency’s website.

Media registration is open for the event, which will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center at 801 Mt. Vernon Place NW.
