Attending the American Geophysical Union 2024 meeting with the IRTG mobility grant

From December 11th to 15th 2023, the American Geophysical Union held its annual meeting in San Francisco, California. The meeting reunited more than 25.000 scientists from more than 100 countries to share their research.

Awarded a mobility grant from the IRTG, PhD candidate José Vicencio Veloso was able to participate in the conference in a poster session, presenting its research related to the Atacama Desert and rainfall, now in review at the JGR Atmosphere Journal.

According to Vicencio, this was one of the best conferences ever attended, especially considering the good organization and the high level of discussions. Every day, thousands of researchers presented their posters in a room the size of a stadium in two different shifts (from 8:30 to 12:30 and 13:00 to 17:00).

Part of the special aspects of the conferences is making connections with researchers from other countries, sharing new research topics, and discussing potential future works. As a foreign researcher, Vicencio also met his old colleagues, friends, and supervisors from the Universidad de Chile and Universidad de O’Higgins after almost 3 years abroad.
