It's slow, but it's at least working.

(reminding me more and more like AGU submissions days from 5 years ago)

Here's the page to go to for submitting:

	https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/account/

(assuming you know what session you're submitting to; if not, I highly recommend PA008, 'Improving Public Access to Science Research', even if it's to submit an abstract telling people what a horrible idea it is because you're sick and tired of being harassed by idiots who read your paper and didn't actually understand it)[1]

If you don't know what session you're going to submit to, see:

	https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/

and don't forget ... you can submit a PA or ED abstract, *and* something for IN or whatever else.
