About the Hydrology Section
The Hydrology Section is one of twenty-five sections in the American Geophysical Union. Its members are concerned with the cycling of continental water (solid, liquid and vapor) at all scales, and with physical, chemical and biological processes driven by that cycling. Of AGU's almost 60,000 members, about 7000 list their primary affiliation with the hydrology section.
Eligibility
- an active AGU member
- a mid-career scientist between 11 and 20 years of receiving their Ph.D. or terminal degree as of 1 January of the year of the nomination.
