Agency scientists and their colleagues who use NASA research capabilities also will present noteworthy findings during scientific sessions open to registered media.

In addition to NASA’s hyperwall, learning area, and exhibit space – which will be socially distanced onsite in New Orleans – the agency will host a virtual exhibit for AGU, which will feature a science theater, live chat opportunities, downloads of the NASA Science 2022 calendar, specially curated resources, and more. The exhibit will be open to the public throughout the week of the meeting.
