AGU - Athelstan Spilhaus Award

Organization: American Geophysical Union

The Athelstan Spilhaus Award recognizes members of the American Geophysical Union who have devoted portions of their lives to expressing the excitement, significance, and beauty of the Earth and space sciences to the general public. Recipients of the Spilhaus Award must be AGU members both when the activity being honored occurred and at the time the award is made. The award is recognized by a presentation piece to be given at an AGU meeting. The award was first presented in 2006.
