U13B:
Student Engagement to Enhance Development

Note: Abstract submissions to Union sessions are by invitation only.
Possible Alternate Format: If this session is allocated an oral session, the convener can choose to have lightning style presentations that are quicker and more focused than a traditional session. Learn more


Session ID#: 26449

Session Description:
Each year, AGU Sections and Focus Groups recognize the top 3-5% of student presenters through the Outstanding Student Paper Award (OSPA). This session brings together the 2016 awardees for a series of lightning talks on their research. Invited presenters will provide high level research talks that convey their objective, methods, and results in a manner understandable by the general AGU audience. An increasingly necessary skill in science is communication with broad audiences. This session showcases effective communication from emerging scientists on research topics from a wide array of content areas.
