AGU24
Washington, D.C. | December 9 - 13, 2024
Each year, AGU’s annual meeting, the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists, convenes 25,000+ attendees from 100+ countries to share research and connect with friends and colleagues. Scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists and communicators attend AGU24 to better understand our planet and environment, opening pathways to discovery, opening greater awareness to address climate change, opening greater collaborations to lead to solutions and opening the fields and professions of science to a whole new age of justice equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging.
This December, AGU24 returns to Washington, D.C. with the theme “What’s Next for Science.” Please visit KBR at booth #1118 to learn more about our work in science and space.
KBR Presentations
KBR is proud to provide a range of posters and presentations at multiple AGU 24 sessions.
This past summer, KBR's Tiffany Swarmer embarked on an extraordinary Arctic expedition to the remote island of Tallurutit. The team delved into the impacts of climate change in this harsh Polar Desert while simulating a Martian mission.
Check out Tiffany's incredible journey as a researcher and learn how we're pushing the boundaries of exploration in extreme conditions.
KBR's Jackie Kagey traveled to the Iceland Highlands to participate in an event that simulated lunar conditions for the Artemis III mission. This event was part of the EVA and Human Surface Mobility Program (EHP), which was conducted in collaboration with NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and the Artemis II crewmembers. Also used as a training ground for the Apollo missions, the Iceland Highlands resemble the surface of the Moon. Here, they conducted training for geology science and navigation training, demonstrated training readiness levels, and captured lessons learned to improve the training curriculum. The trip strengthened external partnerships and exercised the required logistics support for this high-fidelity lunar-like terrain. After several days of rigorous training and expeditionary exploration, the team culminated their efforts with a capstone exercise alongside the Artemis II crew. This exercise allowed them to apply their training in a mock EVA with real science targets in a realistic setting. The team's successful completion of all primary objectives is a testament to their readiness for the Artemis III mission.
