Kudos to Lipi Mukherjee and Noura Ed-Dahmany

Lipi Mukherjee (613/UMBC) recently received an AGU26 Faculty Travel Grant to attend the American Geophysical Union Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA, December 7–11, 2026. Established in 2024, this grant program aims to support 40-50 faculty members. "The AGU Faculty Travel Grant is an NSF-funded program administered by AGU to support faculty participation in the AGU Fall Meeting, with an emphasis on broadening participation and supporting early-to-mid-career faculty members." Recipients receive a travel stipend plus access to a professional development workshop as well as networking and social events. At this year's AGU meeting, Dr. Mukherjee will give an oral presentation titled “A Loading-Dependent Magnetospheric Clock: From Cumulative Solar-Wind Forcing to Storm Onset and Satellite Drag.” She also is the Primary Convener and Session Organizer for the session titled “From Solar Wind Forcing to Satellite Drag: Bridging Space Weather Across Domains.”
