The deadline for Press pre-registration is 7 March, meaning your badge will be waiting for you upon arrival at Joint Assembly, avoiding very long onsite registration lines. Advance registration must be done online. The Press Registration Form is available at:

Onsite Press registration will be at the main registration desk (not in the Press Room).

4. Excursion to Oceanographic Museum in Monaco

We are considering an excursion for Press Registrants to the renowned oceanographic museum and aquarium in Monaco on Sunday, 6 April. We cannot yet confirm that we would receive any special consideration (e.g., free admission, behind the scenes tour, discussion of current research projects), but if there is sufficient interest, we will conduct the trip. If there is no special program, you may visit the aquarium on your own once there.

If you are registered or planning to register as Press for Joint Assembly, please send a message to Harvey Leifert (hleifert@agu.org) With subject line "Monaco Excursion" and state one of the following:

1. Count me in, regardless of whether there is an admission fee (11 euros) or special tour or discussion.
2. I will participate only if admission is free and there is some special program for our group.
3. I will not be participating in this excursion.
(Please do not return this entire advisory!)
