IARC researchers and students will give nearly 50 presentations during the 2024 American Geophysical Union fall meeting in Washington D.C. from December 9th-13th. We hope to connect with our colleagues and friends during the following presentations and events.

For those in Washington D.C., please also stop by the University of Alaska Fairbanks booth 931 which is co-hosted by the IARC science communications team. In addition to giving and convening talks and posters, IARC researchers are participating in a press conference for NOAA’s Arctic Report Card.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the latests news from IARC at AGU.
