AGU Honors program 2017: International Award

Every year, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) recognizes individuals through our renowned honors program for their exceptional achievements, outstanding contributions and service to the scientific community, and attainment of eminence in Earth or space science fields. This distinguished group of honorees—scientists, leaders, educators, and communicators—has explored new frontiers in geophysical or space research through their creativity, original thinking, and groundbreaking advances. On behalf of AGU’s Honors and Recognition Committee, our Union selection committees, and our organization’s leadership and staff, we are very pleased to present the recipients of AGU’s 2017 Union medals, awards, and prizes.
