date: Thu, 29 May 2008 08:15:30 -0400 from: Michael Mann subject: [Fwd: AGU Fellowship] to: Phil Jones Phil--this gets back to something we discussed this some time ago. Are you an AGU fellow already? If not, I think we should nominate you! mike -------- Original Message -------- Subject: AGU Fellowship Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 23:53:24 -0400 From: Leadership [1] To: [2]mann@psu.edu The American Geophysical Union invites nominations for the election of members to the rank of Fellow. Each year, about 100 nominations reach the Fellows Committee through the AGU Sections and about half are elected. The number of Fellows is limited to at most .1% of the membership, which makes this honor very prestigious. The Union Fellows are distinguished scientists who have made important contributions to one or several fields of geophysical sciences. While such people often are at high positions at universities or institutions, the selection committee feels very strongly that the scientific merits are the most important criterion for fellowship. More than 35% of members are outside of the US. At present these are underrepresented among the Fellows of AGU. Please consider suitable candidates amongst your colleagues and to make nominations following the instructions available at: [3]http://www.agu.org/inside/fellguides.html.
