SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Scientists, faculty and students from the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography presented and discussed their latest Earth sciences-related research at the 50th annual American Geophysical Union gathering.
“The fall AGU meeting is more than just a place to showcase our scientific results,” said David Smith, GSO associate dean, in a statement. “Scientists learn the newest information and develop collaborations. In addition, these meetings are essential for our students to establish professional networks that may lead to their next steps after graduate school.”
Held Dec. 11-15, URI faculty, staff and students made the trip to New Orleans, where 24,000 scientists from across the nation and the globe gathered to discuss their research. Among those making the trip from the Ocean State were Xueyang Bao, Yang Shen, Nian Wang, Justine Sauvage, Arthur J. Spivack, Steven D’Hondt, Kelton McMahon, Loes van Dam, Chris Kincaid, Rob Pockalny, Tucker Sylvia and Katie Pratt.
