AGU elects fewer than 0.1% of members to join this prestigious group of individuals.
The members of this year’s class of Fellows have made exceptional contributions in our Earth and space sciences community through breakthrough, discovery, or innovation in their disciplines. Since 1962, AGU has elected fewer than 0.1% of members to join this prestigious group of individuals.
Thanks to their dedication and sacrifice, AGU Fellows serve as global leaders and experts who have propelled our understanding of geosciences. We are confident that they will remain curious and relentlessly focused on answers as they continue to advance their research, which pushes our boundaries of knowledge to create a healthy planet and beyond.
We are grateful for their invaluable contributions. We also recognize that numerous individuals were pivotal to their success, and we thank them too.
Since AGU Fall Meeting is online everywhere this year, we will host a virtual ceremony to celebrate the new class of Fellows as well as the other Honors and Recognition recipients on Wednesday, 9 December, at 3:00 p.m. PT/6:00 p.m. ET/23:00 UTC.
On behalf of AGU, we welcome to our community the 2020 AGU Fellows, listed below in alphabetical order, and we congratulate them on their well-deserved honor.
