To be elected a Fellow is a special tribute for those who have made exceptional scientific contributions. Nominated fellows must have attained acknowledged eminence in the Earth and space sciences. Primary criteria for evaluation in scientific eminence are major breakthrough/discovery and paradigm shift. This designation is conferred upon not more than 0.1% of all AGU members in any given year. New Fellows are chosen by a Committee of Fellows.
NOTE: During the 2011 Fall Meeting, the AGU Council voted to align the nomination cycles for all Union honors. The 2012 class of Fellows was elected by the Union Fellows Selection Committee during the 2011 Fall Meeting.
Nominations for the 2013 class of Fellows will be accepted 15 January–15 March 2013.
