Happy New Year!

2026 is off to a fast start with exciting news. AGU has announced a new award - the Louise H. Kellogg Mid-Career Medal. This award honors the spirit of Louise’s career in interdisciplinary science and commitment to the people who are integral to successful scientific communities. I look forward to celebrating the inaugural awardees with you this fall.
