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.
