The AGU Fall Meeting, which took place this year in New Orleans, is the world's largest conference of geophysical sciences. From the latest research findings based on drillings in the crater of the Meteor strike which wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, to researching the newest island Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha' apai in the South Sea which could help exploring the planet Mars - the program includes lectures on new and innovative sciences and aims to spread the latest scientific research findings. Several scientists from PIK attended the AGU Fall Meeting: Amongst others, Anders Levermann, Co-Chair of PIK Research Domain Sustainable Solutions, Ricarda Winkelmann, Junior Professor for Climate System Analysis at the University of Potsdam, Katja Frieler, Deputy Director of PIK Research Domain Climate Impacts and Vulnerabilities, and Jacob Schewe, Co-Chair of the Leibniz funded project "Effects of Climate Change on Migration and Urbanization" starting in 2018.
