WILDFIRES, MARS AND EARTH'S RADIATION BELTS AMONG NASA NEWS HIGHLIGHTS AT
AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION MEETING

WASHINGTON -- NASA researchers will present new findings on a wide
range of Earth and space science topics next week at the annual
meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The meeting takes
place Dec. 3-7 at the Moscone Convention Center, 747 Howard St., in
San Francisco. Media registration for the event is open.

None of the briefings will be carried on NASA Television, but all will
be webstreamed for registered journalists on AGU's website.

NASA's media briefings during the meeting will feature topics such as
the latest discoveries on Mars by NASA's Curiosity and Opportunity
rovers, the impact of climate change on future U.S. wildfires, and
new features discovered inside Earth's radiation belts by the
agency's Van Allen Probes. In addition, NASA scientists and their
colleagues who use NASA research capabilities will present noteworthy
findings during scientific sessions that are open to registered
journalists.
