Professor Eric Saltzman was elected to be a 2011 Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). “Being elected a Fellow of the AGU is a huge honor,” agreed Saltzman, whose work focuses on trace gas effects on climate. “It’s really a reflection of all the great work done by my students and postdocs over the years.”
“For innovations in measuring the natural cycles of sulfur and halogen gases, and insight in analyzing the interactions of air, ocean, and ice to discern the chemical history of the atmosphere.”
To be elected a Fellow of AGU 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. 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.
