The AGU is a nonprofit organization of Earth, atmospheric, ocean, hydrologic, space and planetary scientists. The meeting highlighted the rapid development in earth and planetary science research, including the introduction of new data streams and the discussion of the growing demand for accessible science.

Additionally, two Nexus members shared their leadership experience in a panel highlighting Purdue's large-scale sustainability research and global engagement projects. The panel, An Evening with Purdue Sustainability Leaders, took place at the 2019 AGU on December 10 in San Francisco, CA, and was organized by the PCCRC and co-sponsored by C4E.
