WASHINGTON — The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) will feature advanced technologies and research ranging from Earth to space sciences during the 24th Annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) Conference at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., Dec. 9-13.
In addition to more than 70 NRL oral presentations and poster displays and an exhibit hall booth, attendees will have the opportunity to view the premier of the 5-minute CCOR-1 (Compact Coronagraph) film which details the collaborative efforts of the laboratory and NOAA in developing the first-ever operational Compact Coronagraph.
"NRL is committed to pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery,” said NRL Commanding Officer Capt. Jesse Black. “By participating in AGU 2024, we're able to share our latest advancements in Earth and space sciences with the global scientific community that will define the future of Naval operations.”
Attendees can visit booth #119 to meet our researchers, hear more about NRL’s revolutionary developments and learn how NRL is contributing to our understanding of cross-domains from Earth to space.
