The 2018 section awardees and named lecturers have been selected. AGU and its leaders wholeheartedly congratulate these awardees!
The selection of our colleagues for these prestigious awards and honors recognizes their sustained and unique contributions to enlightening our understanding of the Earth and its atmosphere and oceans, and of the solar system and exoplanets. The sciences encompassed by AGU are crucial for the health and well-being of our planet’s inhabitants. These honorees have contributed to that health and well-being through their scientific advancements and outstanding service to the science and to AGU.
Among the 24 sections of AGU, there are 65 awards; 21 are for early-career scientists (up to 10 years post-Ph.D.) and six are for midcareer scientists (10–20 years post-Ph.D.). Twenty-seven awards provide named lectureships to further disseminate an awardee’s meritorious accomplishments. Named lectures offered by AGU sections recognize distinguished scientists with proven leadership in their fields of science. AGU inaugurated the Bowie Lecture in 1989 to commemorate the fiftieth presentation of the William Bowie Medal, which is named for AGU’s first president and is the highest honor given by the organization. The 2018 Bowie Lecturers are denoted by asterisks in the list below. We look forward to attending as many of these lectures as possible at Fall Meeting 2018.
Many thanks to the nominators, nomination supporters, and section leaders, and particularly to the selection committees, for their important work in selecting these well-deserving colleagues. We thank you all for your continued commitment to the AGU Honors Program, and we look forward to recognizing the honorees and their achievements at AGU’s Fall Meeting 2018 in Washington, D. C.
—Robin Bell, President-elect and Council Chair, AGU; and Mary Anne Holmes (email: AGU_Unionhonors@agu.org), Chair, Honors and Recognition Committee, AGU
