Will you be at the AGU Fall Meeting?

Connect with the #EarthScienceData Community

Tell us about your poster, talk, town hall, or booth. Add your info and update links in the 2022 list and we will help share our #EarthScienceData community's work more broadly.

Join the Open Science and Data Help Desk at AGU

The Open Science & Data Help Desk, our largest event to date, will be hosted by ESIP and AGU during the 2022 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting from Dec 12-15.

Through the Help Desk, researchers can learn about skills and techniques that will help further their research and make their data and software more open and FAIR. The Open Science & Data Help Desk will be staffed with experts from the Earth science informatics community to answer data-related questions and to demo useful resources.

Clean Air Happy Hour

Join an evening gathering co-hosted by our ESIP partner OpenAQ: Clean Air Happy Hour at AGU on Tuesday, December 13 from 6-8 p.m. at the Haymarket Pub and Brewery. Make sure to RSVP.
