2009 IRIS Interns at the Fall AGU Meeting

Submitted by Michael on Tue, 2009-11-03 16:00.

This year, 12 IRIS interns will be presenting their research at the 2009 American Geophysical Union - Fall Meeting. This meeting, held in San Francisco, CA each December, is expected to draw a crowd of over 16,000 geophysicists from around the world. The Fall Meeting provides an opportunity for researchers, teachers, students, and consultants to present and review the latest issues affecting the Earth, the planets, and their environments in space. The opportunity for students to present their research results, meet peers and become part of the community of scientists continues to be a powerful component of the IRIS REU program. Whether you are looking for potential graduate students or are share an interest in a particular area of research, we encourage IRIS community members to stop by the posters and presentations of our interns.
