The American Geophysical Union (AGU) will hold its 48^th Fall Meeting from December 14^th to December 18th. The meeting’s sessions will take place at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. More than 23,000 people attend the AGU Fall Meeting, making it the world’s largest Earth and space science meeting.

Charles Lesher, Derek Schutt, Eric Brown, Kenni Petersen and Lara O’Dwyer Brown are presenting work at the meeting. You can see their abstracts by clicking on the titles below. Additionally, Eric Brown is co-convening and chairing the session V31D: The Origin of Basaltic Magmatism Posters.
