Dr. Rachel Abercrombie named a 2020 AGU Fellow
Dr. Rachel Abercrombie investigates all aspects of the earthquake rupture process, for example, how earthquakes start and grow, what factors govern the size and location of slip, and how one earthquake affects another. She was recently named a 2020 AGU Fellow.
Robin Bell, the AGU president, writes:
“The members of this year’s class of Fellows have made exceptional contributions in our Earth and space sciences community through breakthrough, discovery, or innovation in their disciplines. Since 1962, AGU has elected fewer than 0.1% of members to join this prestigious group of individuals.
Thanks to their dedication and sacrifice, AGU Fellows serve as global leaders and experts who have propelled our understanding of geosciences. We are confident that they will remain curious and relentlessly focused on answers as they continue to advance their research, which pushes our boundaries of knowledge to create a healthy planet and beyond.
We are grateful for their invaluable contributions. We also recognize that numerous individuals were pivotal to their success, and we thank them too.
On behalf of AGU, we welcome to our community the 2020 AGU Fellows, listed below in alphabetical order, and we congratulate them on their well-deserved honor.
—Robin Bell, President, AGU; and LaToya Myles (unionfellows@agu.org), Chair, Honors and Recognition Committee, AGU”
