RAL at AGU 2024 Fall Meeting
What’s Next for Science.

9:00 am – 8:00 pm MST
AGU Fall Meeting 2024 will be held in Washington, D.C. and online everywhere 9 - 13 December 2024. More than 25,000 attendees from more than 100 countries will convene.
The theme is: “What’s Next for Science.” Science has always been about the new. The now. The next. It’s what propels us, feeding our questions and inspiring our work. The constant question and answer form a rhythm, a cadence, a story. Science is a story. A story of infinite possibilities. A story of continuous discoveries. A story of hopeful solutions.
It’s the story of our journey; we create what’s next. What’s next for our community. What’s next for discoveries. What’s next for our planet. What’s Next for Science.
We're excited to continue our participation and hope you can join us @NCAR_RAL! #AGU24
