On behalf of AGU leaders and staff, we give our heartfelt congratulations to all of this year’s Section awardees and named lecturers.

Listed below are the scientists, in various stages of their careers, who have been selected by AGU sections to receive awards in 2015. Also listed are those individuals chosen to present lectures under the annual Bowie Lecture Series as well as the Section Named Lecture Series. The Bowie Lecture was inaugurated 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 AGU. The Bowie lecturers are denoted by asterisks. Named lecturers are designated by sections to honor distinguished scientists in their respective fields of science.
