    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.

  • Walter Heinrich Munk
    WALTER HEINRICH MUNK 19 october 1917 . 8 february 2019 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 163, NO. 3, SEPTEMBER 2019 biographical memoirs alter Heinrich Munk was a brilliant scholar and scientist who was considered one of the greatest oceanographers of W his time. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1917 as the Austro-Hungarian Empire was declining and just before the death of one of its great artists, Gustav Klimt. Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, who later changed her name to Hedy Lamarr to accommodate her film career, was one of Walter’s childhood friends.1 Walter’s mother, Rega Brunner,2 the daughter of a wealthy Jewish banker, divorced Walter’s father in 1927 and married Dr. Rudolf Engelsberg in 1928. By age 14, Walter apparently had not distinguished himself in his school studies and announced that he intended to become a ski instructor. Walter later claimed that it was this that caused his mother to send him to work at a family bank in New York. The validity of this claim should be tempered by the political turmoil in Germany and its proximity to Austria. In any case, Walter left Vienna in 1932. In New York, he attended Silver Bay Preparatory School for Boys on Lake George and then became a lowly employee in the Cassel Bank, which was associated with the family’s Brunner Bank in New York. In the meantime, Walter restarted his education at Columbia’s Extension School. He greatly disliked the work at the bank and apparently made a number of mistakes, which didn’t endear him to the owners of the Cassel Bank.

Decades of what would become a century of humiliation had disabused the country of its previous self-perceived technological superiority, as famously expressed by Emperor Qianlong to the British envoy George Macartney in 1793. The Chinese had instead become convinced that they needed knowledge from outside to become strong enough to resist imperial aggression. No country encouraged this opening more than the United States. Americans threw money and expertise at the training of Chinese students and intellectuals. The Rockefeller Foundation’s first major overseas project was the creation of China’s finest medical college and other US institutions followed Rockefeller’s lead by establishing dozens of Chinese universities and technical schools to train a new generation of Chinese scientists.

Creator Information: Office of Science and Technology Policy This office was headed by Frank Press who became Science Advisor to President Carter and Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in 1976. The OSTP grew out of the Office of Science and Technology which was formed in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. The office was created to provide recommendations and advice in response to the growing importance of space exploration. The office advised the President and others within the Executive Office of the President on the effects of science and technology concerning domestic and international affairs. The office served as a source of scientific and technological analysis and judgment for the President with respect to major policies, plans, and programs of the federal government. The OSTP lead an effort to develop and implement sound science and technology policies and budgets. Frank Press focused on increasing government commitment to basic research, evaluating the impact of federal regulations on the economy, and providing analyses of a national energy policy.
