    2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers - Eos 8/1/19, 359 PM 2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers Eighty-two distinguished scientists receive accolades from groups representing their disciplines within AGU, the world’s largest Earth and space science society. By Robin Bell and Mary Anne Holmes ! 31 July 2019 The 2019 section awardees and named lecturers have been selected, and AGU staff, leaders, and selection committees wholeheartedly congratulate these awardees! Our colleagues have been selected for these prestigious honors for their sustained and unique contributions to advancing our understanding of Earth, its atmosphere and oceans, and planets and astral bodies beyond our own. The sciences encompassed by AGU are crucial for the health and well-being of our planet’s inhabitants. These awardees have contributed to both that understanding and the planetary health and well-being through their scientific advancements and outstanding service to the science and to AGU. https://eos.org/agu-news/2019-agu-section-awardees-and-named-lecturers Page 1 of 7 2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers - Eos 8/1/19, 359 PM This year’s cohort of awardees reflects the diversity that is integral to the Earth and space sciences. Among the 25 sections of AGU there are 65 such awards; 21 are for early- career scientists (up to 10 years post-Ph.D.) and 6 are for midcareer (10 to 20 years post-Ph.D.). Twenty-seven awards provide named lectureships that offer unique opportunities to highlight the meritorious accomplishments of the awardees. AGU inaugurated the Bowie Lecture in 1989 to commemorate the 50th presentation of the William Bowie Medal, which is named for AGU’s first president and is the highest honor given by the organization.

F LEMING Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1951 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. WILLIAM BOWIE 1872-1940 BY J. A. FLEMING William Bowie was born May 6, 1872, at Grassland, an estate near Annapolis Junction, Anne Arundel County, Mary- land. He died August 28, 1940, at Mt. Alto Hospital in Wash- ington, D. C, after an illness of about three weeks. Funeral services were held at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Washing- ton, D. C, August 30, 1940, followed by burial in Arlington National Cemetery. His family, descended from a long line of English ancestors, many of whom were knighted, was traced back as far as 1325. His American forebears, all of whom played important parts in the history of Maryland, originated with John Bowie, Sr. (1688-T 759), who emigrated from England to America about 1705-06. William Bowie's great grandfather Thomas Bowie f 1767-1823) was Colonel of the 34th Regiment of the Mary- land forces in the war of i8r2, and his father Thomas John Bowie (1837-1898) served as Deputy Provost Marshal for Prince Georges County, Maryland, during the Civil War and was later elected for one term in the House of the Maryland Legislature. William Bowie's mother, Susanna Anderson (Bowie), whose English ancestors have been traced from early in the Fourteenth Century, was also descended from a well- known Maryland family, the activities of many of whom helped make history in Maryland.
