Each December in San Francisco, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) holds the world’s largest scientific conference that focuses on Earth sciences.  This year, Polaris Project participants submitted 17 abstracts for presentations at AGU based on their research as part of the Polaris Project.  Even more remarkable, ten of the abstracts have undergraduate students as lead authors.  This will be the first major scientific conference that most of the Polaris students have attended, and they’ll make a significant contribution to it.  Though AGU will likely be the largest gathering of Polaris Project participants until next summer in Siberia (if we are have the good fortune of being funded next year!), we expect that there will be several additional presentations at other scientific conferences over the coming months.
