A guide to sessions focused on social and natural science research practices at the AGU 2020 Fall Me

AGU Fall Meeting can be difficult to navigate and many times there are overlapping sessions of interest. Fall meeting is different this year. Many of the sessions are recorded and can be viewed at any time. For scheduling, my advice is to use the AGU Fall Meeting scheduling option. Unfortunately, there is no phone app this year to send you reminders so make sure to add each of the events to your phone’s schedule if you want a notification reminder.

I am specifically interested in attending presentations that blend natural science methods with social science research methods.  Graduate students have great interdisciplinary research opportunities and can learn from their peers. I hope this guide helps interested researchers in finding integrative and complementary research projects that encourage discussions of successes, challenges, and best practices in integrating research with other disciplines.
