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.
