The 2025 AGU Annual Meeting took place in New Orleans this year, with several BC/ISR scientists presenting results from their latest research on the ionosphere. Charles Carrano gave a talk on the 2024 Mother’s Day solar storm (aka the Gannon storm) which caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage just in the US, and Keith Groves discussed an ionospheric experiment using the ALTAIR radar facility at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Posters were presented by Dima Paznukhov, Rezy Pradipta, Teddy Surco Espejo, Cesar Valladares. David Webb; Theodore BeachSpa and Matthew Proctor co-authored a number of posters and talks, as did the other ISR’ers. Valladares also conveneda session on equatorial plasma density.
