AGU on the interweb

It’s been a somewhat frustrating week for this geoblogger, with many potentially interesting stories popping up containing some variant of “presented this week at AGU in San Francisco”. With 15,000+ Earth Scientists collected in the same place, it’s no surprise that if you’re looking for the latest interesting research California was the place to be – but even if some of my research was, I wasn’t, and aside from the odd web-cast, the official online footprint seems to be virtually non-existent.
The blogosphere is being represented, though. Andrew at About.com Geology is being wined and dined as a member of the press this year, but he’s still been hitting the conference rooms and filing daily dispatches about the sessions that have caught his eye:
Monday from AGU
My Nightmare Session
Cool stuff from AGU
Thursday at AGU
Friday’s AGU wrap-up
Brian is still in a bit of a daze from passing his viva last Friday, and had a presentation to worry about, but still found time to file a couple of dispatches:
Tuesday wrap-up
Wednesday wrap-up
The RealClimate folks have been the real stars, though, posting daily updates which explain in detail the implications of all the new data they’re reporting “hot off the projector”; they also give you a real feel for exactly why these big meetings are so fun and stimulating to attend:
Dispatch 1
Dispatch 2
Dispatch 3
Dispatch 4
Dispatch 5
Dispatch 6
Dispatch 7
All good stuff: here’s hoping that I can make it to the party next year.
