Remembering AGU25

We can’t believe it has been over a month since AGU25! We wanted to share some of the moments that we enjoyed with our community during this very special event.

Not only did we get to host our customary Poster Session on Caribbean Climate Change, but this time around we had the opportunity to host an accompanying GeoBurst session on the same topic! It was amazing to listen in on the awesome research and work that people within our community are doing on this topic Thank you so much to all participants!
We also had our Annual AGU Party! It was so fun to connect and enjoy some amazing food and conversation with everyone. Thank you so much to all attendees!
Last but not least, we want to send a special thank you to the people that made this event possible this year
