American Geophysical Union Meeting
Not much blogging this week. I am at the annual AGU meeting in San Francisco. I blogged about this some time ago. It is the major meeting in our field. My first was in the fall of 1974. I got off the elevator at the mezzanine level of the old Jack Tar hotel and I saw a huge crowd -- maybe 300 scientists. That was 39 years ago. The meeting this week has over 25,000 attendees. It fills pretty much the entire Moscone center in San Francisco. Quite a change! Many great talks on earthquakes, climate change, typhoons, and other disasters.
