NASA-related presentations at AGU are as follows. (Access to some briefings require registration for the meeting.) All times Eastern:

VIRTUAL EXHIBIT

The agency also will host a virtual exhibit at AGU, which will feature a Science Theater, live chat times, the NASA Science calendar, specially curated resources, and more. The exhibit will be open Dec. 1-17 with virtually staffed days Dec. 7-11.

Monday, Dec. 7

1 p.m. – Impacts of COVID-19 on People and the Environment, As Seen from Space

This panel will discuss how remote sensing data is beginning to show some of the less tangible, but still important ways the pandemic is affecting both people and the environment.

  • Ned Bair, University of California Santa Barbara/Earth Research Institute
  • Timothy Newman, U.S. Geological Survey
  • Nima Pahlevan, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center

Thursday, Dec. 10

11 a.m. – Solar Orbiter Science Begins

In this briefing, Solar Orbiter scientists will give a first taste of the data they have collected so far, including a closer look at the discovery of “campfires” and look toward the first of many Venus flybys, which will enable scientists to eventually see the Sun’s poles, essential for understanding the Sun’s activity cycle.

  • Frédéric Auchère, Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale
  • Tim Horbury, Imperial College London
  • Daniel Müller, European Space Agency (ESA)
  • Teresa Nieves-Chinchilla, Goddard

Friday, Dec. 11

11 a.m. – 29 and Counting: Latest NASA Juno Mission Science Results

NASA’s Juno mission has provided the most detailed in-depth scrutiny of our solar system’s largest planetary inhabitant in history. This briefing will include the latest findings on the gas giant’s polar cyclones, magnetosphere, Great Red Spot, atmosphere and interior, as well as highlight the scientific – as well as beatific – contributions of the mission’s citizen scientists.

  • Heidi Becker, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
  • Scott Bolton, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI)
  • Candice Hansen, Planetary Science Institute
  • Steve Levin, JPL

Monday, Dec. 14

1 p.m. – Life in the Clouds of Venus? Lessons from Studying Life in Earth’s Atmosphere

In this roundtable, biologists who study life in the Earth’s atmosphere will discuss how airborne microorganisms survive and reproduce in the unique, dynamic conditions of Earth’s troposphere and how their research could apply to Venus.

  • Kevin Dillon, Rutgers University
  • Diana Gentry, NASA’s Ames Research Center
  • Noam Izenberg, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
  • David J. Smith, Ames

Tuesday, Dec. 15

1 p.m. – Media Roundtable: Year of the Asteroids! Missions to the Building Blocks of Our Solar System

With OSIRIS-REx slated to begin its return to Earth with a sample of the asteroid Bennu, and launches of the DART and Lucy missions, as well as Psyche on the horizon for 2022, there will be a lot of discussion about the diverse types of asteroids and what we can learn from their respective chapters as storytellers of the solar system.

  • Lindley Johnson, NASA’s planetary defense officer
  • Tom Statler, NASA program scientist for DART and Lucy
  • Nancy Chabot, DART coordination lead, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab
  • Hal Levison, Lucy principal investigator, SwRI 
  • Jim Bell, Psyche deputy principal investigator, Arizona State University
  • Jamie Elsila, research scientist, Goddard
  • Paul Chodas, manager, Center for Near Earth Object Studies, JPL

Wednesday, Dec. 16

1 p.m. – What We Will Learn from Solar Cycle 25

In this roundtable, scientists will discuss outstanding questions in solar cycle science, what opportunities this new cycle provides researchers, and how we track progress in predictions.

  • Dean Pesnell, Goddard
  • Lisa Upton, Space Systems Research Corporation
  • Paul Charbonneau, Université de Montréal, Canada
