Thank you for making #AGU25 unforgettable. 💚
To every scientist, student, speaker, exhibitor, partner, and volunteer—your ideas, energy, and connections are what made this meeting so special. From inspiring sessions to meaningful conversations and moments of joy, you reminded us why community is at the heart of science.
We can’t wait to keep the momentum going. See you next year in San Francisco, December 7–11, 2026. 🌉✨
Judge grants our request to temporarily halt USDA office closures, including the U.S. Forest Service, saying the agency has “almost certainly been violating” Congressional restrictions on use of funds.
Recognizing the massive disruption it would case to wildfire response, the judge paused sweeping changes to the US Forest Service, including moving its HQ to Utah, closing all 9 regional offices, and 23 research facilities.
AGU joined a coalition of plaintiffs, including the U.S. Forest Service employees union, to file this case against the USDA last month. We will keep fighting for our federal workers and for all the ways they keep us safe.

Critical disaster preparedness bills have lapsed and require renewal to keep our communities safe. Extreme weather and natural hazards threaten millions of Americans every year, but our monitoring and research of hazards will weaken if Congress doesn’t renew these bills.

Wind and gravity can space pebbles as evenly as if someone placed them by hand, on Earth and on Mars.
Scientists call the pattern "disordered hyperuniformity." Pebbles on sandy surfaces usually look randomly scattered, but model simulations in JGR Planets show how gravity and wind can, over time, spontaneously push them into organized arrangements.
Even meter-scale features like these help scientists estimate wind and sand conditions on the surface of Mars.

🔥 The history of Turkmenistan’s Darvaza Crater — also called the “Door to Hell” — remains uncertain to this day.
A study in Geophysical Research Letters used satellite images to suggest the crater's original flames began between 1987 and 1988.
Accounts of how it began still vary. The team detected 44 distinct methane plumes from 2020 to 2025 and estimates 71,000 tons of methane escaped in that window. The 900,000-ton figure extrapolates that back to when the crater formed. Methane traps 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.
