Science Magazine: A roundup from the AGU last month
AAAS Science Magazine news writer Richard Kerr sprung loose a couple of PDFs of his coverage last month from the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. It includes not only a quality of writing and reporting that we expect from him, but mostly stories that didn’t make the wider media at all. Here there are, page 1 and page 2.
Pretty good stuff. I liked particularly his tidbit on the training that – despite failure to get a specific warning out in time – saved a schoolful of children from the tsunami in Samoa. The detail on the unpinned Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica is vivid, too. The tsunami news got some coverage elsewhere but not, he tells us, the rest of it.
