ESR is proud to announce that Laurie Padman, ESR’s President, has been elected as an American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fellow, joining a distinguished group of 54 individuals in the 2024 Class of Fellows! AGU, the world’s largest Earth and space science association, bestows this honor annually to a select number of individuals who have made exceptional contributions.
AGU Fellows are recognized for their scientific eminence, demonstrated through breakthroughs, discoveries or innovations that advance the Earth and space sciences. Fellows act as external experts, advising government agencies and other organizations outside the sciences upon request. Laurie was selected for his exemplary leadership and outstanding scientific achievements, which have significantly advanced our understanding of the polar regions, including including ocean mixing and tides, and ocean interactions with ice shelves and sea ice.
Honorees will be recognized at AGU24 which will convene more than 25,000 attendees from over 100 countries in Washington, D.C. and online everywhere on 9-13 December 2024. Reflecting the theme ‘What’s Next for Science’ at AGU24, the Honors Reception will recognize groundbreaking achievements that illustrate science’s continual advancement, inspiring the AGU community with their stories and successes.
Congratulations to Laurie Padman for his exceptional work in the Polar Sciences!
