Hydrology highlights: AGU 1991 Fall Meeting

Abstract

The AGU 1991 Fall Meeting in San Francisco offered attendees a mix of special theme and general sessions that covered the full range of subjects represented by the Hydrology section's technical committees. We received 660 abstracts, up 50% from 1990. This number includes 50 papers in sessions organized by the Union Committee on Snow, Ice, and Permafrost. Within AGU, the number of abstracts received by the Hydrology section was second only to the tectonophysics section, which received 667. We presented 41 oral and 20 poster sessions. Despite having 3–5 concurrent oral sessions and 1–3 poster sessions each half‐day, session chairs across the board reported good attendance throughout the meeting. The full range of subjects presented, strong attendance, and the cosponsoring of many hydrology sessions with other sections all support the AGU tradition of a broad‐based, all‐Union meeting.
