The American Geophysical Union (AGU) recently announced its 2015 class of Fellows, which includes ECOGIG's Dr. Jeffrey Chanton (Florida State University). This honor is given to individual AGU members who have made exceptional scientific contributions in the fields of Earth and space sciences. Since the establishment of the AGU Fellows program in 1962, and in accordance with AGU bylaws, no more than 0.1 percent of the total membership of AGU is recognized annually.
Dr. Jeffrey Chanton and colleague Dr. Allan Clarke (Deep-C consortia) are the only two people in the state of Florida to receive this award in 2015, and only 60 individuals in total were elected as 2015 Fellows. Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative's Chief Scientist Dr. Chuck Wilson said in a recent article, “We are delighted to see scientific organizations recognize the success of our researchers, and the GoMRI community extends our congratulations to Allan and Jeff.”
The AGU fellows will be recognized during a ceremony on Wednesday, 16 December, held during the 2015 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco. The following is a list of all 60 fellows:
