Cool stuff from AGU 2010 Days 1 and 2: Eyjafjallajökull bonanza and submarine calderas

So, as usual, the annual AGU meeting has been incredibly busy. When I first started attending the meeting, I was able to go to lots of talks and posters and hopefully learn a lot about what people are doing in geology. These days, the meeting is getting subsumed with being a professional in the field - meetings, conferences, receptions ~ along with catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. This is not to say that the meeting is any better or worse than it was when I first started attending, but sometimes I do miss the ability to just go see the research.
