Each year, the week before AGU’s Fall Meeting, we invite UTIG student researchers to practice their AGU talks. Each presenter will be given 11 minutes, as per AGU’s oral presentation for 2024, followed by a few minutes for Q&A and feedback.
The details of this year’s speakers are currently underway. Come back to this page for new updates.

How Extinctions Shaped the History of Life with Rowan MartindaleSeptember, 10 2025Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PMLocation: Texas Science & Natural History Museum Travel back 183 million years to the Early Jurassic, a time when dinosaurs were just getting started on land—and life in the oceans was in crisis. Join Dr. Rowan Martindale, Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UT Austin’s Jackson School of Geosciences, for a fascinating look at how ancient environmental changes reshaped life below the waves. Dr. Martindale will highlight how coral reef ecosystems and other marine communities survived extinctions during the Jurassic Period, responding to excessive heat, acidity and low oxygen in water. Learn how our understanding of ocean ecosystems from 183 million years ago can help us protect similar ecosystems today, and what they might tell us about the future of life on Earth. This free program will be followed by a Q&A and a light reception. An RSVP is required. |

This year’s program will feature conversations with distinguished experts exploring global energy outlooks, the growing role of nuclear and AI, energy’s ties to national security, data infrastructure demands, capital markets, and media coverage. Join us as we examine the transformative forces reshaping the energy landscape and the innovation, investment, and policy strategies that will guide the road ahead. |
Hot Science - Cool Talks: Life and Death by Impact!September, 12 2025Time: 5:30 AM - 8:30 AMLocation: Welch Hall 2.224 and Grand Hallway What can a 66-million-year-old impact crater reveal about the past and future of life on Earth? Dr. Sean Gulick explores the science behind one of the most dramatic events in Earth’s history, the asteroid impact that ended the age of dinosaurs. From discovering a giant crater in Mexico to drilling deep into the Earth to link this impact to the mass extinction, Dr. Gulick unpacks the explosive chain of events that wiped out 75 percent of life on the planet. Current research is studying how meteorite impacts shape planets, create new ecosystems, and may even help life begin on Earth and on other worlds. Arrive early and explore Cool Activities from 5:30 - 6:40! Local organizations will share exciting hands-on activities related to the talk! List of activities coming soon! |
