Nomination Package Requirements
A complete nomination package consists of the following:
Nomination Letter
A nomination package must include a letter of recommendation from the nominator or collaborative nominators and from any supporters stating why the candidate is well-suited to give the Hanson Lecture. The letter should briefly explain the importance of the science conducted by the nominee or by those coworkers that the nominee has directly influenced in the field of atmospheric sciences and/or space physics and aeronomy. Any evidence of how the nominee has contributed to the advancement of discovery for the benefit of humanity should also be included.
Multiple nominators for a candidate are allowed; however, nominators should consider collaborating to submit a more robust package for the nominee.
Heads Up!
AGU reserves the right to reject, without review, nominations that do not follow all eligibility requirements. These include:
Conflict of Interest
Nominators must follow AGU's conflict of interest policy to avoid the appearance of bias.
Read Policy Two-Page Limit
Nominations must not be longer than two pages. AGU will remove any additional pages before sharing with the review committee.
Posthumous Nominations
AGU does not accept nominations for candidates posthumously.
Duplicate Nominations
If duplicate nominations for the same candidate are submitted, AGU will only review the first submitted.
Co-Nominations
A maximum of two nominators may submit a nomination together.
