Dear All,  
At the 2024 Fall AGU meeting 9-13 December 2024 in Washington DC there will be a Union session U019 “The impact of GMT in the Earth Ocean and Space Sciences - What’s Next?”. You are all welcome to contribute poster presentations to this meeting. There will be an oral session of invited talks (that’s how Union-wide sessions are done) and also the PyGMT community is hosting a workshop. I hope to see many of you there. Also, AGU just announced a something (contest? scholarship?) on data visualization in the Earth sciences, and to that end, you may want to look at Paul’s latest paper, on gmt movie.
