During the second week of December Robert Banks attended the 2013 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), of which he is a student member. The Fall AGU meeting is one of the largest gatherings of scientists in the geosciences with over 22,000 attendees this year. Robert presented a poster titled, 'Inter-comparison of lidar methods for obtaining planetary boundary-layer height from a July 2012 monitoring campaign over the Iberian Peninsula in the framework of EARLINET' during the Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Processes and Turbulence session. The presentation was well received with numerous comments and feedback to advance the research objectives in 2014. In addition, Robert was able to attend the adjoined Destination Europe conference and learn valuable new information about Horizon 2020, the new funding initiative from the European Union.
