Center for Global Change and Earth Observations researchers to present leading-edge research at the 2022 Fall American Geophysical Union meeting

December 5, 2022

A large number of researchers with the Center for Global Change and Earth Observations (CGCEO) at Michigan State University will be heading to Chicago, Illinois, to present their latest findings at the upcoming American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting. This annual event is the most influential gathering in the world dedicated to the advancement of Earth and space sciences.  

Every year the AGU Fall Meeting convenes more than 25,000 attendees from 100+ countries to share research and network. Researchers, scientists, educators, students, policymakers, enthusiasts, journalists, and communicators attend AGU Fall Meeting to better understand our planet and environment and our role in preserving its future. It is a results-oriented gathering rooted in celebrating and advancing positive individual and collective outcomes. This year’s AGU Fall Meeting will take place December 12-16, 2022.  

CGCEO researchers are global leaders in using geospatial techniques to conduct cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on patterns and processes of global change and on the consequences of global change for human populations.
