Student Engagement to Enhance Development: Outstanding Student Presentation Award Winners from 2017 Fall Meeting II eLightning


Note: Abstract submissions to Union sessions are by invitation only.


Session ID#: 63365

Session Description:
This Student Engagement to Enhance Development (SEED) session showcases effective communication from emerging scientists on research topics from a wide array of content areas. Each year, AGU Sections recognize the top 5% of Fall Meeting student presenters through the Outstanding Student Presentation Award (OSPA). This SEED session brings together the 2017 awardees for a series of lightning talks on their research. Invited presenters will provide high level talks that convey their research objective, methods, and results in a manner understandable by the general AGU audience, an increasingly necessary skill in science.
