With 6000 attendees and 4700 presentations, the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco last month was the biggest yet. And that made room for even more diversity than usual. Only the AGU could accommodate news of asteroid impacts and extinctions one-third of a billion years ago and a progress report on the first direct measurements of centimeter-scale ocean mixing, an ongoing study in the Atlantic.
上月在美国旧金山举行的美国地球物理联合会（AGU）秋季年会上，与会者达 6000 人，提交的论文有 4700 篇，创下历史新高。这也使得会议的多样性比以往任何时候都更加突出。只有 AGU 能同时发布小行星撞击和 3.5 亿年前灭绝事件的消息，以及关于首次直接测量厘米级海洋混合的进展报告，该研究正在大西洋进行。
