  • AGU Session SPG will have a session at the AGU meeting in San Francisco. The AGU meeting is scheduled for the week of Dec 5. We expect the AGU session to be similar to the June 15 meeting where scientists and technologists discuss their ideas about what could be submitted as candidate standards or Tech notes.
