Edward Brooks will be awarded the 2018 Natural Hazards Section Award for Graduate Research. He will be formally presented with the award at AGU’s Fall Meeting 2018, to be held 10–14 December in Washington, D. C. The award recognizes “one or more promising young scientists engaged in studies of natural hazards and risks” and is given “in recognition of outstanding contributions achieved during their Ph.D. (or highest equivalent terminal degree) research.”
Citation
Edward received his B.S. in physics from Johns Hopkins University in 2013 and an M.S. in statistics from Northwestern University in 2017. He is currently working toward a Ph.D. in Earth and planetary science under the supervision of Seth Stein at Northwestern University in Evanston, where his research focuses on developing techniques to assess the performance of earthquake hazard maps. His research interests include seismology, natural hazards, and data science and how the three can influence policy decisions pertaining to natural hazard preparedness.
