CU Boulder at AGU 2025

AGU returns to New Orleans Dec. 15–19 with the theme “Where Science Connects Us” 

 

Each year, the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting, the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists, convenes 25,000-plus attendees from 100-plus countries to share research and connect with friends and colleagues. Scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists and communicators attend AGU25 to better understand our planet and environment, opening pathways to discovery, opening greater awareness to address climate change, opening greater collaborations to lead to solutions and opening the fields and professions of science to a whole new age of justice equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging.

Visit the AGU25 website for the latest updates and information. See below for the latest research from CU Boulder and the schedule of events at AGU featuring CU experts. Sessions are in local time (CST).
