Recognizing Interdisciplinary Advances in Climate Science
The Future Horizons in Climate Science: Turco Lectureship is presented annually and recognizes significant interdisciplinary scientific research, discoveries, or advancements in climate science. Established through a generous donation by Richard and Linda Turco, this lecture identifies future areas of research that will engage both new and established scientific talent in solving the problem of global warming and related issues.
Lecture topics can represent any field relevant to climate systems, and speakers are encouraged to address implications for climate-related policy, as well as expanding the base of knowledge on climate change, processes, and manipulation. This lecture is presented annually during the AGU Fall Meeting as a part of the Atmospheric Sciences Section programming.
- A lecture certificate
- A $1,500 honorarium
- Recognition at AGU's annual meeting during the lecture presentation year
- An invitation to present a lecture at AGU's annual meeting during the lecture presentation year
- Ticket to the Atmospheric Sciences business meeting and banquet at AGU's annual meeting during the lecture presentation year
About the Atmospheric Sciences Section
The Atmospheric Sciences Section studies the physics, chemistry, and dynamics of the atmosphere. One of the most critical issues that section members are studying today, along with colleagues in other sections, is global climate change.
