NCEI scientists participate yearly with talks and poster presentations as well as town halls during the largest annual science conference, the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. This year’s conference, both in-person and virtual, runs from December 13-17, 2021, and unites more than 23,000 international participants from the Earth and space sciences community to take part in professional development. The 2021 theme is “Science is Society.”
New Orleans hosts this year’s event, which is held online as well. Topics range from climate and ocean research to solar and geomagnetism studies. NCEI has contributed just over 50 accepted submissions for 2021 in addition to a pre-conference NCEI Town Hall, which is also scheduled to showcase our space weather science and data products.
NCEI Town Hall
NCEI takes AGU’s annual gathering as an opportunity to meet with its users and stakeholders, and this year is no exception. We will host a virtual space weather data Town Hall on Thursday, December 9 at 11:15 a.m. CST (12:15 p.m. EST). Registered AGU participants will be able to engage directly with our space and solar scientists as well as leaders from NOAA National Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) and NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center. The session will feature information about NOAA space weather data, new products, and services with plenty of time for discussion and feedback.
