Every year the AGU Precipitation Technical Committee selects students presenting at the AGU Fall Meeting (oral, poster or e-lightning presentations) for the AGU Precipitation Student Award. If you are a student and you are planning to present at the AGU Fall Meeting consider this opportunity.





Congratulations!





Our experts in the field attended 22 presentations (Oral, Poster, eLightning) and enjoyed interacting with students and see how much great work and enthusiasm is out there.

Congratulations to the 5 awardees of the 2023 edition and to all the students that presented their work with enthusiasm and competence.

See you all next year.
