Google at the 2017 AGU Fall Meeting
By Dave Thau, Manager of Developer Relations, Google Earth Engine
The American Geophysical Union’s Fall Meeting is the largest Earth science research conference in the world. This year’s meeting will be held December 11–15 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Googlers from across the Google Earth, Earth Engine, and Earth Outreach teams will be there to present 16 posters and oral presentations on topics from population modeling, surface water dynamics, urban footprints, Timelapse animations, and the latest deep learning techniques using TensorFlow, Earth Engine, and Google Cloud Platform.
If you’re attending AGU, be sure to stop by our booth and chat with us about the tools we’ve been building for geospatial researchers and how they’re being applied. To learn more about what we’ll be doing at AGU, please visit our Google at AGU 2017 website.
Booth presentations
Throughout the week, we’ll have in-booth presentations from partner organizations, Googlers, and others. Check out the lineup here.
