Today, Tyler and I presented our poster at the AGU Conference, the most prominent earth science conference in the world, in San Francisco.  Our poster was located in the biogeosciences section and was titled ‘Using Dendrochronology and Remote Sensing to Assess Drainage Rates of Pan-Arctic Lakes.’

It was a great experience and we received a lot of support, interest, questions, and feedback about our poster and research throughout the morning from several faculty and scientists from across the country.  It was great hearing what they had to say in terms of furthering our research and modifying our approach and also to hear about their research experiences.

This has been a great opportunity for networking, learning about other contemporary research topics, and seeing how scientific knowledge is shared among the general public.  We look forward to continuing research and staying connected with the people we met at this conference and are grateful to have had this experience in San Francisco.
